Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Area V1 in the occipital cortex is responsible for primary visual processing and a lesion in this area can result in blindness in certain parts of the visual field, known as a scotoma. Apraxia and visual agnosia are typically associated with damage to other areas of the brain, and it is unlikely that there would be no behavioral changes following damage to V1.
