What We Know
INFORMATION PASSES QUICKLY THROUGH THE OPTIC NERVE INTO THE LATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEI. FROM THERE IT IS DISPERSED INTO APPROPRIATE SITES SCATTERED THROUGH THE CEREBRAL CORTEX.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAYING THAT INFORMATION IS LOST AND THAT IT HAS GONE INTO A REGION OF TIME/SPACE WHICH WILL NEVER BE ACCESSIBLE.
