What region contain the primary visual cortex?
The visual cortex is found in the occipital lobe.
Which cerebral lobe is the visual cortex lobe located?
The visual cortex is located in the occipital lobe at the posterior (back) cerebrum.
What part of the eye takes messages from the eye to the visual cortex?
The brain structure that relays information from the eyes to the visual cortex is called optic nerve.
What types of cells are located in the brain's visual cortex?
The cells in the cerebral cortex are neurons and unmylinated axons, hence the term grey matter.
The primary visual cortex contains a map of visual space?
True
Where is the visual cortex located?
occipital lobe.
What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
Is The primary visual cortex in the frontal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere?
No, the primary visual cortex is in the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere.
Where are the primary visual area and visual association located on the cerebral cortex?
Occipital lobe
What is the function of visual cortex?
The function of the visual cortex is to basically show you what you are seeing; it receives the impulses sent to it from the eye that contain what the image should look like. This image that it receives is upside-down though, so one of the visual cortex's functions is to flip it right-side up again. In common language the visual cortex is referred to as your 'mind's eye' and can also show you your memories, or your imagination as well as what you are currently seeing.
In the visual pathways to the brain the optic radiations project to the what?
The optic radiations, one on each side of the brain, carry information from the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus to layer 4 of the visual cortex. (primary visual cortex)
Where does visual information go before traveling to the cortex?
thalamus
