Visual cortex - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortexThe primary visual cortex is the most studied visual area in the brain. In mammals, it is located in the posterior pole of the occipital lobe and is the simplest, earliest cortical visual area. It is highly specialized for processing information about static and moving objects and is excellent in pattern recognition.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › books › NBK11524May 01, 2005 · The anatomy of the primate primary visual cortex has been worked out in great detail. The three basic organizing principles of primate V1 are the: 1) laminar and 2) columnar arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory neurons (an arrangement shared with other neocortical areas) and 3) the regular spacing of anatomical/functional compartments revealed by cytochrome oxidase (CO) labeling.
Visual Cortex | Location, Structure, Function & Summary
human-memory.net › visual-cortexMar 14, 2022 · The visual cortex’s main function is to interpret visual data input. On the basis of structural and functional categories, the visual cortex is divided into five separate regions. According to theories put forward by scientists, it is believed that as visual data is disseminated along, each successive cortical area becomes more specialized than the one before.
