yes
Yes, damage to the occipital lobe can lead to visual hallucinations. The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information, so damage to this part of the brain can disrupt normal visual processing and potentially lead to hallucinations.
The OPTIC NERVE, OCCIPITAL LOBE, and VISUAL CORTEX will be affected if there is something wrong with your vision. But there maybe underline issues that could cause problems with your vision as well.
In some respects, this question has two answers.The retina is entirely nervous tissue, and as such is considered an extension of the brain (albiet a highly specialised extension). The retina lines the inside of the eye, and detects and responds to light.However, the other, more traditional answer is that the Visual Cortex, at the posterior (back) of the brain is responsible for making sense of the signals from the retina.
In the posterior pole of the Occipital cortex.
The three lobes of the brain contribute mainly to perception. 1) Temporal lobe contributes to hearing. 2) Occipital lobe contributes to vision. 3) Parietal lobe contributes to touch and motor perception.
The Occipital Lobe and the Visual Cortex.
The optic nerves connect the brain and eyes.
The occipital lobe is the part of brain associated with sight.
The Occipital Lobe
The Occipital Lobe
The visual cortex is located in the occipital lobe of the brain, which is located at the back of the head. It is responsible for processing visual information received from the eyes.
Occipital Lobe of the cerebral hemisphere is located in the back of the head and controls vision.
Occipital Lobe which is situated at the very back of the brain.
Occipital lobe of the brain
brain tumors affect whatever part of the brain they are in. If they are in the occipital lobe (the part of the brain that processes vision) they will affect the vision in multiple ways depending on where in the occipital lobe they are. I have heard of blindness, inability to see color (black and white vision), and many other peculiarities in vision due to tumors in the occipital lobe.
That would be the 'Occipital Lobe' it is the visual part of the brain.
The Visual Cortex, which is located at the rear of the brain above the Cerebellum. It has a wide superficial surface area, within which is a small region that extends deep into the centre of the brain. This explains why some people who have suffered rear head injuries often have eyesight problems as a consequence.
