The optic nerve may be divided into the following 4 topographic areas:
• Intraocular region
• Intraorbital region
• Intracanalicular region
• Intracranial region
The chiasm is located just

The superior bundle (Baum’s loop) tracks dorsally & posteriorly. This
bundle terminates in the superior lip of the calcarine sulcus.
Following a synapse in the LGN, the axons travel posteriorly as the optic
radiations to terminate in the primary visual (calcarine) cortex in the occipital
lobe
