Quizplus · Accepted Answer

V1 (or primary visual cortex) is the region of the brain that receives and processes visual information from the eyes. Option A, O1, is incorrect because there is no such thing as O1. Options C and D, posterior parietal cortex and inferior temporal cortex, respectively, are not the primary visual cortex, although they are involved in the processing of visual information at later stages.
