Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?
Yes, the visual pathways cross over in the brain. The right side of the brain processes left eye visual information and vice versa.
What side is the brain damage when a person has lost vision in the right half of the visual field?
The damage would have occurred on the left side of the brain.
Why might it be beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body?
It is beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body because of the position and connection to the brain that our eyes have. Since light from the right visual field strikes the left side of the eye and light from the left side strikes the right side of the eye, the connections (each eye predominantly connects to the same side of the brain though there are connections to both sides and information is transferred at the optic chiasm) allow visual information from the opposite side (both sides, but opposite is important for the answer) of the body to reach the brain. Being able to respond to information on the side of the body that the given hemisphere of the brain controls is key to an animals survival.
What are the visual centers of the brain called?
One visual centre of the brain I know of is called the Visiospatial Sketchpad. This is where the brain is responsible for the temporary storage of visual and spatial information before being stored in your long term memory.
What is the secion of the brain that contains the visual centers of the brain?
occipital lobe
What side of the brain is most involved in visual-spatial activities?
The right side of the brain is most involved in visual-spatial activities. It is responsible for tasks such as perceiving spatial relationships, recognizing patterns, and understanding shapes and forms.
Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?
Yes, the visual pathways cross over in the brain. The right side of the brain processes left eye visual information and vice versa.
Does the right side of the brain works for speaking?
The right side of the brain thinks in images and music. The left side deals with words, math, and logic.
What side is the brain damage when a person has lost vision in the right half of the visual field?
The damage would have occurred on the left side of the brain.
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)

What part of the brain processes visual information?
The visual cortex processes visual information in the brain. This part is present in occipital lobe.
How does the mind think?
The mind only thinks if the brain thinks.
What are the visual centers of the brain called?
One visual centre of the brain I know of is called the Visiospatial Sketchpad. This is where the brain is responsible for the temporary storage of visual and spatial information before being stored in your long term memory.
How a cow thinks?
A cow thinks with its brain just like a human
What is the secion of the brain that contains the visual centers of the brain?
occipital lobe
What part of the brain coordinates visual and auditory reflexes?
They are both located in the corpora quadrigemina.
