What will be an ideal response?


The primary visual cortex, where most visual stimuli are delivered from the thalamus, is located in the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere. The primary visual cortex processes these stimuli and perceives an object's depth and color, as well as rapidly changing stimuli. Mrs. Sanchez's family did not receive correct information about the location of the damage in her brain. The primary visual cortex also sends information to association areas in the temporal and parietal lobes of the cerebrum.
