Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with damage to the lower part of the parietal cortex have been found to report no dreams. This area of the brain is believed to be involved in integrating sensory information and perception, including visual information, which may play a role in the creation of dream imagery. Damage to other brain regions, such as the occipital and temporal lobes, has also been associated with changes in dream content, but not necessarily a complete absence of dreams.
