Occipital Lobe

The occipital lobe is a section of the brain located at the back of the head. Its primary function is to process visual information. It interprets signals from the eyes, helping us understand shapes, colors, and motion. This lobe plays a crucial role in our ability to recognize objects and faces, read, and navigate our environment. Damage to the occipital lobe can lead to vision problems or difficulties in visual perception, highlighting its importance in how we experience the world visually.
