Occipital Lobe
The occipital lobe is located in the posterior part of the cerebral hemispheres:
• posterior to the temporal lobe and parietal lobe
• the occipital lobe is partially separated from the parietal lobe by the parietooccipital fissure.
• In addition, there is only virtual separation between the temporal lobe and occipital lobe.
