  2. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    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 occipital pole. V1 is often also called striate cortex because it can be identified by a large stripe of myelin, the stria of ...

  3. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The primary visual cortex (V1) is located in and around the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe.Each hemisphere's V1 receives information directly from its ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus that receives signals from the contralateral visual hemifield.

  4. Orientation column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_column

    These columns are located in the primary visual cortex (V1) and span multiple cortical layers. The geometry of the orientation columns are arranged in slabs that are perpendicular to the surface of the primary visual cortex. [1] [2] The primary visual cortex (V1) is located in the occipital lobe. This is the region where orientation columns are ...

  5. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    Vision: The visual area known as V1, striate cortex, or (primary visual cortex, Brodmann area 17) is located on the calcarine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe. Hearing: The primary auditory cortex is located on the transverse gyri that lie on the back of the superior temporal convolution of the temporal lobes.

  6. Calcarine sulcus - Wikipedia

    Occipital lobe: Artery: ... (V1) is concentrated. [2] [6] The central visual field is located in the posterior portion of the calcarine sulcus, ...

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    In between the six layers are smaller cells that receive information from the K cells (color) in the retina. The neurons of the LGN then relay the visual image to the primary visual cortex (V1) which is located at the back of the brain (posterior end) in the occipital lobe in and close to the calcarine sulcus.

  8. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    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.
