That answer can be very complicated or very simple.

The simple answer is the occipital lobe, or the lobe at the "back" of your brain.

A little more complex answer is the visual cortex, which is housed in the cuneus and lingual gyri (divisions) of the occipital lobe, which interpret the image (blend together what the right eye and left eye are seeing individually, as well as keeping the image from being "upside down and backwards"), but not after the different images have passed through the lens, retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral genticulate nuclei, and optic radiations before getting to the cuneous and lingual gyri (in that order), in order to get the images how they need to be (right colors, right blend, right-side-up, right focus, etc).

Hope that helps.

The visual cortex processes visual information in the brain. This part is present in occipital lobe.


What system does the pupil belong to?

The pupil belongs to the visual system, as it is a part of the eye that allows light to pass through and reach the retina, where it is converted into neural signals and processed by the brain to form visual images.


What part of the eye directs nerve pulses to the brain?

The part of the eye that directs nerve pulses to the brain is the retina. The retina contains photoreceptor cells, known as rods and cones, which convert light into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are processed into visual images.

What is the relationship between the visual cortex and the occipital lobe in processing visual information?

The visual cortex is a part of the brain located in the occipital lobe, which is responsible for processing visual information. The visual cortex receives signals from the eyes and interprets them to create the images we see. In essence, the visual cortex and occipital lobe work together to process visual information and enable us to see the world around us.


Which part of the eye transmits visual data?

The optic nerve transmits visual date from the retina to the brain.

Where online can one find brain map images?

The Wiley Online Library has very detailed images in a journal article of human brain maps. The article can be purchased from Wiley. Free images of brain maps can be found on the Harvard website. These images are part of scientific experiments.
