Primary visual cortexRelated: Most visual information reaches V1 through this thalamic relay.
Occipital lobeRelated: It routes much of the incoming visual information to primary visual cortex.
Human visual systemRelated: Nearly all signals from eye to cortex pass through this bottleneck.
Human visionRelated: The bottleneck every visual signal passes through between eye and cortex.
