The vertebrate optic nerves, optic chiasm, and optic tracts contain axons of retinal ganglion cells. These axons connect the retina, where light absorption produces patterned neuronal firing, to the brain, where these firing patterns can undergo further processing. The axons are carried in the optic nerve to the optic chiasm at the base of the brain. Beyond the chiasm the axons continue through the optic tract to reach several visual relay nuclei in the brain.
