An optronic pathway was a technology that transmitted information.

In Viorsa's species simulation, the optronic pathways controlled the basic aspects of the virtual environment and access databanks programmed when the system was created. At Viorsa's suggestion, B'Elanna Torres attempted to dismantle the simulation manually by interrupting the optronic pathways, but The Clown realized what she was doing and murdered Viorsa in retaliation. (VOY: "The Thaw")

Optronic pathway connections formed a part of the consciousness of holographic beings like The Doctor. (VOY: "Author, Author")
