Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Optic lobe refers to brain structures involved in vision: The superior colliculus of mammals or the analogous optic tectum of other vertebrates, structures of the midbrain involved in vision. Optic lobes of arthropods.

Detailed explanation-2: -4 The Optic Lobes The optic lobe of each side is a large and complex extension of the brain, this is the analyzer of visual input from the eye as well as having other “higher” functions related to memory and initiation and control of behavior. Its neural organization is complex and highly structured.

Detailed explanation-3: -The corpora quadrigemina in mammals are four solid lobes on the dorsal side of the cerebral aqueduct, where the superior posterior pair are called as the superior colliculi and the inferior posterior pair is called the inferior colliculi. The four solid lobes help to decussate several fibres of the optic nerve.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is located under the parietal lobe and above the temporal lobe near the back of the brain. The occipital lobe is the seat of most of the brain’s visual cortex, allowing you not only to see and process stimuli from the external world, but also to assign meaning to and remember visual perceptions.
