Occipital Lobe Masterset

Occipital Lobes

The rearmost part of the cerebral cortex responsible for processing visual information.

Visual Pathways

The routes through which visual information is transmitted from the eyes to the brain for processing.

Cortical Function

Refers to the functions of the cerebral cortex, including perception, cognition, and voluntary movement.

Occipital Lobes

The part of the brain located at the back of the head responsible for processing visual information.

Visual Pathways

The routes through which visual information is transmitted from the eyes to the brain for processing.

Ventral Stream

The pathway in the brain involved in object recognition and perception.

Dorsal Stream

The pathway in the brain involved in visual guidance of movements and spatial awareness.

Visual Recognition

The ability to identify and categorize objects and stimuli based on visual information.

Visual Attention

The selective focus on specific aspects of visual input.

Visual Space

The perception and processing of spatial information in the visual field.

Action for Vision

The cognitive processes involved in directing visual attention and focus.

Object Recognition

The ability to identify and categorize objects based on visual information.

Temporal Lobe

The region of the brain involved in processing auditory and visual information.

Parietal Lobe

The region of the brain involved in spatial processing and sensory integration.

Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS)

A brain structure involved in the analysis of biological motion and multisensory integration.

Dorsal Stream

The pathway in the brain responsible for processing the spatial location and motion perception of visual stimuli.

Ventral Stream

The pathway in the brain responsible for processing the facial recognition, color perception, and shape perception of visual stimuli.

PET Studies

Imaging studies using Positron Emission Tomography to observe brain activity by measuring blood flow.

V5

A specific area in the brain activated during the detection of motion.

STS

Superior Temporal Sulcus, a brain region activated during the detection of shape.

V4

A brain area activated during color perception.
