Located in the rear part of the brain, the occipital lobe's major functions include visual perception and color recognition. Biren/katzman has a track record of successfully handling all types of brain injury case.
Due to its location deep in the brain, protected by the skull, the occipital lobe is the least often injured region of the brain. This often makes it difficult to properly diagnose a brain injury to the occipital lobe because other areas of the brain, like the parietal lobe, also affect visual perception.
