Question

Which association is most accurate for functional areas within the occipital lobe?

A. Sensory-posterior

B. Motor-medial

C. Sensory-anterior

D. Motor-posterior

Answer 1

A ) Sensory - Posterior.

• Main sensory area in the brain include , primary auditory cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, and primary visual cortex.
• Primary visual cortex is located in the posterior pole of occipital lobe and is the simplest.Hence in option C it is anterior , hence it is wrong.
• It is highly specialized for processing information about static and moving object , and is excellent in pattern recognition.
• Posterior to parietal an temporal lobe , is home to primary and association visual cortex .
• Visual cortex is located inside the occipital lobe in the calcarine sulcus between the hemispheres.
• Motor cortex are not present in occipital lobe , hence option B and D are wrong.
