See here. Since the brain is divided into two hemispheres, each lobe has two corresponding parts. Thge occiptial lobe sits posterior to the temporal lobe and parietal lobes, underlying the occipital bone. The frontal lobe is important for cognitive functions and control of voluntary movement or activity.
The parietal lobe processes information about temperature, taste, touch and movement, while the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for vision. Since it is the smallest in size, and located in the back of the head, it is the least likely region of the brain to suffer a severe injury. However, injuries to this lobe can be caused by seizures, traumatic accidents, neurological deficits, neoplastic lesions, and infections.
Each lobe of the brain has a specific function that works together to regulate the human body. The occipital lobe is responsible for vision. Essentially, visual information comes in through the eyes and into the occipital lobe via two streams: the ventral stream and the dorsal stream.
Information in the ventral stream focuses on what the eyes are seeing, while the information in the dorsal stream focuses on where the object is situated spatial perception. Some of the specific functions the occipital lobe controls include:. Brain lobes. Products and services.
