Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Our brain tissue is particularly sensitive to carbon monoxide toxicity due to its highly deleterious effects. The common manifestation of carbon monoxide poisoning is bilateral damage to the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main job of your occipital lobe is decoding the messages sent from your eyes and turning that information into forms the rest of your brain can use. That job happens in two specific areas in your occipital lobe: the primary visual cortex and the secondary visual cortex.
