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 lobe is the Motor speech area located?
The motor speech area, also known as Broca's area, is located in the frontal lobe of the brain, typically on the left side in most right-handed individuals. It is responsible for the production of speech and language.
What part of the brain reconstructs visual images?
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. -A.T. (Resident)
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.

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.
