Preferred Label : optic nerve;
MeSH definition : The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain.
The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC
CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to
the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the
SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered
part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.;
