the sensory area of the occipital lobe of the brain's cerebral cortex receiving afferent projection fibers and concerned with the sense of sight
The posterior region of the cortex, which is primarily responsible for processing visual information. Information from the retina is projected to the primary visual cortex (the most posterior). Further interpretation takes place, further forward, in the secondary visual cortex.
the area of the occipital lobes that processes visual input. (86, 160)
Part of our brain situated just above our neck that allows us to experience vision. Information from the optic nerve from our left eye goes to our right visual cortex, and optic nerve from our right eye to our left visual cortex. The two optic nerves cross over in the middle of our brain at the optic chiasma. Getting a knock on the back of the head is the reason we see 'stars before our eyes'. Our visual cortex has been given a shock.
Part of the brain that processes visual information.
The part of the brain that is responsible for processing visual stimuli.
the cortical area that receives information from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
The visual cortex is the part of the brain that detects the forms of objects, brightness of the individual parts of the objects, shading, and spatial organization of the visual scene.
Those cortical areas primarily concerned with the processing of visual information. The visual areas of the cortex are primarily located in the occipital lobe: the rear, lower part of the cortex.
A brain region in the back of the head that allows us to perceive the visual information gathered by our eyes.
The visual cortex refers to the primary visual cortex (also known as striate cortex or V1) and extrastriate visual cortical areas such as V2, V3, V4, and V5. The primary visual cortex is anatomically equivalent to Brodmann area 17, or BA17. Brodmann areas are based on a histological map of the human brain created by Korbinian Brodmann.
