látókéregben

The term "látókéregben" is Hungarian and translates to "in the visual cortex." The visual cortex is the part of the brain responsible for processing visual information. It is located in the occipital lobe, at the back of the head. When light enters the eye, it is converted into electrical signals that travel along the optic nerve to the brain. These signals first arrive at the thalamus, a relay station for sensory information, and then are sent to the visual cortex for further processing.

Within the visual cortex, different areas are specialized for processing various aspects of vision, such as shape, color, motion, and depth. Neurons in the visual cortex respond to specific features in the visual field, and the combined activity of these neurons creates our perception of the world. Damage to the visual cortex can result in various visual impairments, including blindness, hallucinations, or difficulties recognizing objects. The study of the visual cortex is crucial for understanding how we see and how visual information is represented in the brain. Research in this area has contributed significantly to our understanding of visual perception and has implications for treating visual disorders.
