High magnification image of the optic chiasm and optic tract. The optic chiasm is the region in which axons from ganglion cells of the retina cross to project to the opposite side of the brain. These axons continue caudally in the optic tract. Image from AF Wiechmann and CR Wirsig (2003) "Color Atlas of Xenopus laevis Histology", (page 110, Chapter 10 , Cranial Structures: Figure 39).
