includes the mass of thread in the
capsula interna sandwiched between the posterior pole
of the lens core and
the tail core. The wire mass is responsible for round-trip traffic between the cerebral cortex of the
parietal and
occipital lobes on the one hand and the thalamus on the other, threads from the
cerebral cortex to nerve cells in the
bridge (pons nuclei) and,
well worth noting, the so-called visual
radiation (radiatio optica) that runs between the
outer knee body of the
thalamus and the
primary visual cortex.
