Occipital Lobe Analysis
If the Occipital Lobes were destroyed or if we didn’t have that specific one lobe will we be able to do everyday matter? What will be the result? How can the brain tell what colors each and everything is if it is inside the skull?
I chose and found this project interesting because there are a lot of functions in the brain and how everything processes. It is more interesting how we see things with our eyes, but actually comes from the brain. Most people wonder how the brain sees everything since it is in the skull, how the eye signals everything to the brain, and how the colors appear. The more you research and find out how your body actually functions you will get as interested as me and dig into the matter to find out more. That is how I came across to searching …show more content…
There are many types of disorders that happen with this particular lobe such as
1. Visual Hallucinations: Seizures may happen in the occipital lobe, which can cause visual hallucinations. The person may see rapid blinking, colored lights or flickering lights. (When you’re in the sun for a long time and then come to a place where there isn’t any sunlight)
2. Visual Illusions: Distorted perceptions which can take the form of objects appearing larger or smaller than they already are, objects lacking color or objects that have abnormal coloring.
3. Visual Object Agnosia: A person with visual object agnosia can see familiar objects, but when asked to identify the objects, she can’t recognize them. Visual object agnosia occurs when there is damage to the right hemisphere occipital lobe and left hemisphe re occipital lobe (mutual damage).
If both right and left hemisphere of the occipital lobe are damaged you will become blind. If any damage occurs in another part of the brain, some might turn out to be colorblind ,this means they will not be able to see colors, it will be a grayscale for
