As oxygen deprivation just prior to death turns off the brain's inhibitory cells, neural activity increases in the VISUAL CORTEX. This brian region processes visual sensory information.
The visual cortex is a cortical brain region whose function is to receive, interpret and process visual sensory information.
The visual sensory information that is processed in the visual cortex comes from the eye retina, which has specialized cells (photoreceptors) to receive visual information.
The visual cortex is found in the posterior pole of the occipital lobe, and primarily in its medial region.
It has been shown that oxygen deprivation in the cerebral cortex can lead to cortical blindness.
