<P> The lateral geniculate nucleus ( LGN ; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex ) is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway . It receives a major sensory input from the retina . The LGN is the main central connection for the optic nerve to the occipital lobe , particularly the primary visual cortex . In humans , each LGN has six layers of neurons ( grey matter ) alternating with optic fibers ( white matter ) . </P>
