Path of vision from eye to higher brain?

Around 90% of the information from the photoreceptors goes to the lateral geniculate nucleus, in the thalamus. The remaining 10% goes to a number of different locations: the superior colliculus in the midbrain (to assist in controlling eye movement), to the pretectum (controlling the photpupillary reflex), and to structures controlling circadian rythms (sleep patterns).

The information from the eyes is split at the optic chiasm, before reaching the lateral geniculate nucleus: information from the left side of the visual field of both eyes is sent to the right hemisphere portion of the visual cortex, and from the right side to the left hemisphere.
