visual cortex

A brain model with a glowing red visual cortex, highlighting its role in processing visual information.

The visual cortex is the primary region of the mammalian brain responsible for processing visual information. Located in the occipital lobe at the back of the skull, it continuously decodes raw electrical impulses from the optic nerve into edges, colours, motion, and recognizable geometric shapes.
