Occipital Lobe
- Is the home of vision
- Processes visual senses that is sent to the brain from the retinas
- The fact that the visual system gets an entire lobe for processing emphasizes the importance of high visual sharpness and processing among our senses
- Located at the back of the brain, behind the parietal lobe and temporal lobe
- Problems with vision and difficulty with identifying colors are some of the things that can happen if this part of the brain gets injured
- You would be blind without this lobe
- A tiny bit of damage can cause total blindness
