The primary visual cortex, which is defined by its function or stage in the visual system, is approximately equivalent to the striate cortex, also known as Brodmann area 17, which is defined by its anatomical location. visual area V1 UBERON:0002436 BAMS:VISp visual association area striate area visual association cortex In some species, parcellations of lobes are not well defined if at all. The primary visual cortex being part of the occiptal lobe hence could refer to it being part of the most posterior region of the mammalian cerebral cortex.
