Zusammenfassung

Genaue Kenntnisse über die neuroanatomischen Grundlagen des visuellen Systems von der Reizaufnahme in der Retina, der Weiterleitung der visuellen Information in andere Bereiche des zentralen Nervensystems und der Verarbeitung visueller Stimuli ist von großer Bedeutung bei der Diagnostik von Erkrankungen, welche dieses System betreffen. Diese Kenntnisse erlauben bereits nach einer klinischen Untersuchung eine recht genaue topografische Zuordnung von Läsionen. Dieser Beitrag soll dazu dienen, die Neuroanatomie des visuellen Systems mit dem Schwerpunkt der Sehbahn und der Verarbeitung visueller Information darzustellen. Es sollen hier neben der retinofugalen Bahn zum visuellen Kortex auch jene Bahnen erwähnt werden, die zu anderen Zentren des zentralen Nervensystems projizieren. Die Strukturen, die im Dienste der Okulomotorik stehen, werden an anderer Stelle in dieser Ausgabe genauer besprochen.

Abstract

Precise knowledge of the neuroanatomy of the visual system including the perception of visual stimuli in the retina, the transmission of visual information to other areas of the central nervous system and the processing of visual information, are most important for diagnostics of diseases, which are affecting this system. Such knowledge allows, even after just a clinical examination, already a quite precise localisation of potential lesions. The aim of this article is to illustrate the neuroanatomy of the visual system with the focus on the visual pathway and the processing of visual information. Next to the main visual pathway, also other retinofugal projections are discussed. Domains, which are important for the oculomotor system, are discussed in another article in this edition of the journal.
