The brain regions (labeled D and E on the diagram)involved in relaying and processing visual information are the _____ and _____, respectively.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus relays sensory information to the cortex, while the occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing. Therefore, choice C (thalamus; occipital lobe of cerebrum) is the correct answer. Choices A and B are incorrect because the hypothalamus is not involved in processing visual information, and the frontal lobe is responsible for functions such as motor control and decision-making, not vision. Choices D and E are incorrect because the cerebellum and midbrain are not primarily involved in visual processing.
