Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum consists of two cerebral hemispheres the outer layer called the cortex (gray matter) and the inner layer (white matter). There are four lobes in the cortex, the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe. This review article will focus on the functions of the cerebral cortex.

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. Difficulty with identifying colours (Colour Agnosia)

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The occipital lobe is one of the four major brain lobe pairs in the human brain. The occipital lobe is so named because it rests below the occipital bone of the skull. It is also the smallest of the lobes. There are actually two occipital lobes-one on each hemisphere of the brain.
