| Preferred Name | primary visual cortex | |
| Synonyms |
calcarine cortex occipital visual neocortex visual area V1 visual area one striate area visual association area visual association cortex primary visual area area striata V1 nerve X striate cortex |
|
| Definitions |
The visual area of the brain that is specialized for processing information about static and moving objects. The primary visual cortex, which is defined by its function or stage in the visual system, is approximately equivalent to the striate cortex, also known as Brodmann area 17, which is defined by its anatomical location. In some species, parcellations of lobes are not well defined if at all. The primary visual cortex being part of the occiptal lobe hence could refer to it being part of the most posterior region of the mammalian cerebral cortex. |
