Der Opccipital lobe ist Teil des Neocortex
Der occipital lobe besteht hauptsächlich aus dem visual cortex und ist die primäre Anlaufstelle für visuelle Reize.

V1
also called striate cortex
V1 is located at the occipital pole of the cerebral cortex and easily accessible in macaque monkey.
In the macaque monkey it is conveniently placed on the outer surface, easily accessible by microelectrodes and optical imaging. This is part of the explanation why macaque monkeys are a much used model system.
In humans most of it is deeply folded in the calcarine sulcus.
