The occipital cortex is also known as the striate (striped) or visual cortex. It is involved in low level processing such as detecting edges, colors, orientation, and motion. It is found at the back of the brain and has projections to other regions in the brain, particularly the parietal and temporal cortices.

Where are the occipital nerves located?
The greater and lesser occipital nerves run from the region where the spinal column meets the neck (the sub-occipital region) up to the scalp at the back of the head.
What is the main function of the Occipital lobe?
The occipital lobe processes visual information in the brain. The peristriate region of the occipital lobe discriminates between colors and processes movement. The visual cortex (outermost portion of the occipital lobe) is divided into 5 distinct layers (V1 to V5), and each layer discerns and processes a different type of visual characteristic, all integrated together to generate visual perception.
What is the back region of brain called?
It's the occipital lobe and is responsible for sight.
What joint connects the atlas to occipital condyle?
The occipital condyles allow the head to turn side to side.
How Does the Occipital Lobe In The Brain Work?
The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain. It contains most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. Sorry if this doesn't help!

Is Sound generally perceived in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex?
No, the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for our vision. The temporal lobe is the region of the brain where we perceive sounds.
