Detailed explanation-1: -The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary visual cortex, also known as V1 or Brodmann area 17, surrounds the calcarine sulcus on the occipital lobe’s medial aspect. It receives the visual information from the retina via the thalamus.

Detailed explanation-4: -While the occipital lobe carries most of the visual burden, it’s the parietal and temporal lobes that help us make sense of what we’re seeing.
