  2. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The primary visual cortex (V1) is located in and around the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe.Each hemisphere's V1 receives information directly from its ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus that receives signals from the contralateral visual hemifield.

  3. 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 ...

  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. Colour centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_centre

    The primary visual cortex V1 sends visual information to the extrastriate cortical areas for higher order visual processing. These extrastriate cortical areas are located anterior to the occipital lobe. The main ones are designated as visual areas V2, V3, V4, and V5/MT. Each area can have multiple functions.

  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. 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 ...

  8. Calcarine sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcarine_sulcus

    The calcarine sulcus is associated with the visual cortex. [5] It is where the primary visual cortex (V1) is concentrated. [2] [6] The central visual field is located in the posterior portion of the calcarine sulcus, and the peripheral visual field is located in the anterior portion.

  9. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    The visual cortex located in the occipital lobe of the brain is that part of the cerebral cortex which processes visual information. [26] Cortical blindness refers to any partial or complete visual deficit that is caused by damage to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Unilateral lesions can lead to homonymous hemianopias and scotomas.
