optic chiasma
The optic chiasma is a X-shaped structure formed by the crossing of the optic nerves in the brain. The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. The optic chiasma is located just below the hypothalamus in the brain. Here, nasal half of the fibre of each eye cross to the opposite side and continue on to the brain as the optic tract. This allows for the visual field in both eyes to be sent to both hemispheres of the brain, enabling depth perception and three-dimensional vision.
