  2. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The visual cortex of the brain is the area of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information. It is located in the occipital lobe. Sensory input originating from the eyes travels through the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus and then reaches the visual cortex. The area of the visual cortex that receives the sensory input from ...

  3. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    Visual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the encoding, storage and retrieval of the resulting neural representations. Visual memory occurs over a broad time range spanning from eye movements to years in order to visually navigate to a previously visited location. [1] Visual memory is a form of memory which ...

  4. 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.

  5. Calcarine sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcarine_sulcus

    Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The calcarine sulcus (or calcarine fissure) is an anatomical landmark located at the caudal end of the medial surface of the brain of humans and other primates. Its name comes from the Latin "calcar" meaning "spur". It is very deep, and known as a complete sulcus.

  6. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    68596. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] A Brodmann area is a region of the cerebral cortex, in the human or other [citation needed] primate brain, defined by its cytoarchitecture, or histological structure and organization of cells. The concept was first introduced by the German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann in the early 20th ...

  7. Fusiform face area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_face_area

    Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The fusiform face area (FFA, meaning spindle-shaped face area) is a part of the human visual system (while also activated in people blind from birth [1]) that is specialized for facial recognition. [2] It is located in the inferior temporal cortex (IT), in the fusiform gyrus (Brodmann area 37).

  8. 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 ...

  9. Default mode network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    Posterior inferior parietal lobe (pIPL): Junction of auditory, visual, and somatosensory information and attention; The default mode network is most commonly defined with resting state data by putting a seed in the posterior cingulate cortex and examining which other brain areas most correlate with this area.
