The occipital lobe is in the rear part of the brain (dorsal to the body), and "decodes" and maps visual sensory input. It contains the visual cortex, which is separated into five layers of neural tissue, each "decoding" a different visual characteristic to allow for sight.

∙ 14y agoThe occipital lobe is the part of the brain that deals with information on images form the eyes. It is located at the very back and bottom of the cranial cavity. To find its locations feel the back of your head for the very obvious lump aboe your neck. This is part of the occipital bone that covers the outside border of the occipital lobe.

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 function of the occipital region?
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.
Frontal parietal temporal and occipital lobes make up what?
The cerebrum (the largest part) of the brain.Roughly speaking, the frontal lobe is the section at the front (behind the nose), the temporal lobes are on either side, the occipital lobe is at the back and the parietal lobe is on the top of the brain, filling the gap between the other three types of lobe.central sulcus
What Is located within the temporal lobe on each side of the brain and if electrically stimulated it may produce dream-like or memory-like experiences?
hippocampus
What is in the parietal lobe?
It's the lobe situated above the occipital lobe, and to put it basically, it controls your co-ordination and spacial awareness which helps with navigation, and I would imagine things like catching and perception.
Does the left side of your brain control your vision?
No, both hemispheres of the brain, left and right, control vision. The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain.
If suffering a serious brain injury wish side of your brain effects your eyesight?
occipital lobe

What side of occipital lobe sees for right eye?
The left side.
Four lobes of the cortex?
The lobes of the brain correlate well with the bones of the skull cap. The frontal lobe is directly below the frontal bone. The parietal lobes (paired) are beneath the parietal bones (paired). At the back of the head is the occipital lobe situated below the occipital bone. And lastly, deep to the ears are the temporal lobes (paired) located underneath the temporal bones (paired).
In what lobe does is vision primarily processed?
No because each lobe in the brain has it's own purpose. The brain is also a system of lobes instead of just a group of lobes. This means that every part of the brain is important because each one has it's own purpose and many work together to fill out even more purposes.
