optic lobe

The optic lobe refers to a specific part of the brain found in vertebrates and some invertebrates, particularly in the visual systems of these organisms. In vertebrates, including humans, the optic lobe is a part of the brain's structure that processes visual information received from the eyes. It plays a crucial role in interpreting visual stimuli and coordinating visual responses. In insects and other invertebrates, the optic lobes are distinct brain structures that similarly process visual information from compound eyes or simple eyes (ocelli), depending on the species.
