Neurology | Cerebrum: Occipital Lobe Anatomy & Function

Official Ninja Nerd Website: https://ninjanerd.org Ninja Nerds! In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy explores the anatomy and function of the occipital lobe, the primary center for visual processing in the cerebrum. We begin by identifying its anatomical location at the posterior aspect of the brain and reviewing its boundaries, including its separation from the parietal and temporal lobes by the parieto-occipital sulcus. Key external features such as the lateral occipital gyri and the calcarine sulcus are discussed to establish structural context. We then focus on the functional anatomy, highlighting the primary visual cortex (V1) located along the banks of the calcarine sulcus. This area is essential for processing basic visual information such as light, shapes, and orientation. Surrounding association areas (V2–V5) are examined for their roles in integrating visual input, allowing for the perception of color, depth, motion, and complex patterns. Clinically, we discuss how occipital lobe lesions can result in visual field defects such as homonymous hemianopia, cortical blindness, visual agnosias, and rare phenomena like Anton’s syndrome. We also touch on how damage to the dorsal and ventral visual streams affects spatial awareness and object recognition.
