A bundle of nerves known as the optic tract then projects to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. The occipital lobe is part of the brain that perceives and recognizes visual information.

The pressure causes swelling of the optic disc, leading to distorted vision, including blurriness. Doctors say the tumours that are located near the occipital lobe—part of the brain responsible for ...

Papilledema: This is a condition where pressure in the brain causes your optic nerve to swell. This can lead to vision changes, such as double vision, blurriness, and short-term blindness.

These involved fiber length of the optic radiations, and occipital lobe — left superior, right inferior, and right mid-occipital gyri. Previous studies agree with data on temporal thinning in the ...

Find out what you need to know about your occipital lobe and its function. Learn about signs of an injury and how to keep the occipital lobe healthy.

Visual Distortions and Hallucinations Brain tumors in the temporal or occipital lobes can cause visual distortions, such as seeing wavy lines or shimmering lights.

Many different conditions, including migraines and occipital lobe infarction, may cause photopsia. When optic neuritis is to blame, the patient may see flashes of light in one or both eyes, depending ...

In all normal subjects, light stimulates the occipital lobe in the brain located in the visual cortex, which receives and processes visual stimuli, said Dr Tan.

Damage to the optic nerve can lead to irreversible blindness. A newly investigated regeneration factor could change that, UConn researchers report in the May 2024 issue of Experimental Neurology.

We report a case of a 24-year-old man with serologically positive leptospirosis, who presented with altered sensorium, seizures and subsequently developed cortical blindness. His brain MRI revealed ...

Some aspects of language perception are also housed here. Occipital lobe (purple): visual processing region of the brain, housing the visual cortex.
