The optic radiation (also known as the geniculo-calcarine tract or as the geniculostriate pathway or recently posterior thalamic radiation) is a collection of axons from relay neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus carrying visual information through two divisions (called Upper and Lower division) to the visual cortex (also called striate cortex) along the calcarine fissure. There is one such tract on each side of the brain.
