Optic radiations
Optic radiations- also called geniculocalcarine tracts,
Optic radiations extend from Lateral Geniculate Body (LGB) to Visual cortex.
Meyer’s loop
Meyer’s loop (Inferior retinal fibers) – pass through temporal lobe looping around inferior horn of lateral ventricle to the lingual gyrus (occipital lobe below calcarine sulcus).
Baum’s loop
Baum’s loop (Superior retinal fibers) – pass through the parietal lobe to the cuneus (occipital lobe above calcarine sulcus).
