<Tr> <Th> FMA </Th> <Td> 67325 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals . The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex . The primary visual cortex is Brodmann area 17, commonly called V1 (visual one). Human V1 is located on the medial side of the occipital lobe within the calcarine sulcus; the full extent of V1 often continues onto the posterior pole of the occipital lobe . V1 is often also called striate cortex because it can be identified by a large stripe of myelin, the Stria of Gennari . Visually driven regions outside V1 are called extrastriate cortex . There are many extrastriate regions, and these are specialized for different visual tasks, such as visuospatial processing, color differentiation, and motion perception . The name derives from the overlying occipital bone, which is named from the Latin ob, behind, and caput, the head . Bilateral lesions of the occipital lobe can lead to cortical blindness (See Anton's syndrome). </P> <P> The two occipital lobes are the smallest of four paired lobes in the human cerebral cortex . Located in the rearmost portion of the skull, the occipital lobes are part of the forebrain . None of the cortical lobes are defined by any internal structural features, but rather by the bones of the head bone that overlie them . Thus, the occipital lobe is defined as the part of the cerebral cortex that lies underneath the occipital bone . (See the human brain article for more information .) </P>
