The visual space of the image on the retina--the inverted image--is retained as the visual tracts relay the image through the optic chiasm where right and left fields are routed to the contralateral side the brain. A stimulus in the upper right quadrant of the visual field will form an image in the lower left quadrant of the retina. This will result in activity in the lower portion of the left lateral geniculate nucleus and the lower part of the left occipital cortex.
