Visual Processing and the Visual Cortex

We learned about the structure of the eye in the Anatomy and Physiology series. But how do we process visual information? Light hits the retina at the back of the eye, and then what happens? Well quite a lot, to be honest! We have to go deeper regarding retinal structure, neural pathways to the brain, and the regions of the brain that receive and process this information, which are collectively referred to as the visual cortex. So let's get a closer look!
