ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The occipital lobes sit at the back of the head and are responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion. Damage to the occipital lobe can include: Difficulty with locating objects in environment. Difficulty with identifying colours (Colour Agnosia)

Detailed explanation-2: -The occipital lobe is the visual processing area of the brain. It is associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The occipital lobe, located at the back of the brain, is the smallest of the four lobes and enables visual processing and visual memory. Sitting behind both the temporal and parietal lobes, the occipital lobe is home to the primary and secondary visual cortices and is connected to the retinas of the eyes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our data show that the parietal lobe is essential for visual tracking and that the two hemispheres compete for attentional resources during tracking. Our results provide a neuronal basis for visual extinction in patients with parietal lobe damage.
