Thus is uncovered the plane of the cor-tico-optic radiating fibres. In these last fasciculi it is possibleto distinguish three groups of fibres : ist, the anterior onescalled anterior roots of the thalami-optici (Vordere Stiel), theyare directed towards the frontal regions ; 2d, others are mid-dle or lateral; 3d, and finally, the posterior ones are desig-nated by Gratiolet, who first ^ well studied them, under thename of optic cerebral expansions, or expansion of the opticnerves {Sehstrahlungen).
