Symmetrical Brain Response

Caption

Stimulating the left or right eye in normal sighted individuals results in a symmetrical brain response shown as yellow areas in the visual cortex located in the back of the brain. This is because each eye is connected to both sides of the brain roughly equally and the connectivity of the visual pathways is alike.
