Disorders of visual cortex - what does this mean
Disorders of the visual cortex occur when the neurons in the brain's visual processing center are damaged or disrupted, resulting in a variety of visual impairments, such as difficulty perceiving shapes, recognizing faces, or interpreting movement and depth.
What happens during the disease - disorders of visual cortex
Disorders of the visual cortex can occur due to a variety of causes, including trauma, stroke, tumors, infections, and degenerative diseases. the underlying pathology of these disorders is typically related to damage to the neurons in the visual cortex, which can cause disruption of the normal visual pathways and lead to a range of symptoms including visual field deficits, color vision deficits, and/or a decrease in visual acuity.
