The visual cortex, known as the striate cortex, resides in the occipital lobe. It is referred to as "striate" because of the characteristic "stripe" (stria) visible in histological sections, which corresponds to the dense myelinated fibers from the lateral geniculate nucleus projecting to this area. This part of the brain plays a critical role in visual processing, including pattern recognition and spatial awareness.

The striate cortex is located in the primary visual area (V1) of the occipital lobe.
It is called "striate" due to a prominent stripe formed by myelinated fibers.
The striate cortex plays a fundamental role in decoding visual information from the retina.
