Document Summary
Sensation transduction via specialized sensory-specific receptors physical energy to neural signal. Perception interpretation of neural signals, making sense of environment. Cortical processing of visual field retinotopic organization of visual cortex. Damage to the occipital lobe leads to partial or full cortical blindness. Damaged region of occipital lobe scotoma (blind spot) Visual processing in the lobe the image is opposite and inverted. Blindness entire occipital lobe damage or nerves that leave the eye is damaged, compromised eyes, etc. If brain injury causes blindness, you are cortically blind.
