  2. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. [1] The primary visual cortex is Brodmann area 17, commonly called V1 (visual one). Human V1 is located on the medial side of the occipital lobe within the calcarine sulcus; the full extent of V1 often ...

  3. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The primary visual cortex is the most studied visual area in the brain. In mammals, it is located in the posterior pole of the occipital lobe and is the simplest, earliest cortical visual area. It is highly specialized for processing information about static and moving objects and is excellent in pattern recognition.

  4. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The primary visual cortex is Brodmann area 17, commonly called V1 (visual one). Human V1 is located on the medial side of the occipital lobe within the calcarine sulcus; the full extent of V1 often continues onto the posterior pole of the occipital lobe. V1 is often also called striate cortex because it can be identified by a large stripe of ...

  5. Orientation column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_column

    These columns are located in the primary visual cortex (V1) and span multiple cortical layers. The geometry of the orientation columns are arranged in slabs that are perpendicular to the surface of the primary visual cortex. [1] [2] The primary visual cortex (V1) is located in the occipital lobe. This is the region where orientation columns are ...

  6. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    Vision: The visual area known as V1, striate cortex, or (primary visual cortex, Brodmann area 17) is located on the calcarine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe. Hearing: The primary auditory cortex is located on the transverse gyri that lie on the back of the superior temporal convolution of the temporal lobes.

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual cortex is the largest system in the human brain [citation needed] and is responsible for processing the visual image. It lies at the rear of the brain (highlighted in the image), above the cerebellum. The region that receives information directly from the LGN is called the primary visual cortex (also called V1 and striate cortex). It ...

  8. Colour centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_centre

    The colour centre is a region in the brain primarily responsible for visual perception and cortical processing of colour signals received by the eye, which ultimately results in colour vision. The colour centre in humans is thought to be located in the ventral occipital lobe as part of the visual system, in addition to other areas responsible ...

  9. Two-streams hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-streams_hypothesis

    The dorsal stream commences with purely visual functions in the occipital lobe before gradually transferring to spatial awareness at its termination in the parietal lobe. The posterior parietal cortex is essential for "the perception and interpretation of spatial relationships, accurate body image, and the learning of tasks involving ...
