The optic nerve conveys visual information from the retina to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the retinal ganglion cells which sort at the optic chiasm and continue via the optic tracts to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other important targets include the superior colliculi and the suprachiasmatic nuclei. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the central nervous system. 2, record 1, English, - optic%20nerve

Le nerf optique transmet l'information visuelle de la rétine au cerveau. Il transporte les axones des cellules ganglionnaires rétiniennes qui effectuent un premier tri des données au niveau du chiasma optique, puis rejoint le cerveau par l'intermédiaire des fibres optiques. La projection la plus importante se fait vers le corps genouillé externe; d'autres cibles importantes sont les tubercules quadrijumeaux antérieurs et les noyaux suprachiasmatiques. Connu sous le nom de second nerf crânien, on considère que le nerf optique fait partie du système nerveux central. 1, record 1, French, - nerf%20optique
