Projects to the upper bank of the calcarine fissure, called the cuneus; Contains input from the superior retinal quadrants, which represents the inferior visual field quadrants; Transection causes contralateral lower quadrantanopia; Lesions that involve both cunei cause a lower altitudinal hemianopia (altitudinopia) The lower division:
