optic radiations

nerve fibers that project from the lateral geniculate nucleus to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe and to the pretectum, a structure in the midbrain important for the reflexive contraction of the pupils in the presence of light. As the optic radiations sweep around the lateral ventricles, they are called Meyer’s loop.
