Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cortical blindness is caused by damage to the occipital cortex, which is responsible for processing visual information. Damage to other parts of the cortex may cause other types of sensory deficits or cognitive impairments, but not cortical blindness. The parietal cortex is involved in spatial processing and attention, while the central sulcus is a groove in the cortex that separates the frontal and parietal lobes and is not directly involved in vision processing.
