What part of the brain is damaged in achromatopsia?
Following damage to the ventral medial region of the occipital lobe, known as the “color center” of the brain (Bartels & Zeki, 2000), patients lose the ability to perceive color, and therefore experience the world as varying shades of gray. This disorder is termed cerebral achromatopsia.
