Scientific evidence confirms that visual information is transmitted from the retina to the brain via the optic nerve, which is formed by the axons of retinal ganglion cells.

2021 · cited by 150
Retinal ganglion cells are identified as the sole output neurons that transmit visual information from the retina to the brain.

The analysis

Papers [0] and [3] explicitly state that retinal ganglion cells transmit visual information from the retina to the brain and that their axons form the optic nerve. No papers contradict this physiological fact.
