AmiGO 2: Term Details for "optic nerve maturation" (GO:0021632)

Accession: GO:0021632
Name: optic nerve maturation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: CN II maturation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for the optic nerve to attain its fully functional state. The sensory optic nerve originates from the bipolar cells of the retina and conducts visual information to the brainstem. The optic nerve exits the back of the eye in the orbit, enters the optic canal, and enters the central nervous system at the optic chiasm (crossing) where the nerve fibers become the optic tract just prior to entering the hindbrain.
