  Cuneus and Lingual Gyrus
Cuneus lies between the calcarine sulcus and the parieto occipital sulcus.
Although the lateral loop passes through the temporal, and the medial loop passes through the parietal, they both end up in the same place: the occipital lobe.
The lateral loop ends up in the lingual gyrus, and the medial loop ends in the cuneus, both of which are in the occipital lobe.

  Kosova.com - Cuneus prophetarum i Pjetër Bogdanit: Vepra dhe konteksti i saj fetar
Cuneus prophetarum i Pjetër Bogdanit, i botuar në Padovë më 1685, për një kohë të gjatë është i njohur si punim i një rëndësie të jashtëzakonshme në historinë e kulturës shqiptare.
Pra: nëse qëllimi parësor i Cuneus prophetarum ishte që thjesht t'ia mësonte doktrinën katolike bashkësisë katolike, qëllim dytësor i tij ishte t'i parandalonte ata katolikë të rrëshqitnin në Ortodoksizëm apo në Islamizëm, duke i kritikuar 'gabimet' e këtyre dy besimeve.
Cuneus prophetarum u shndërrua në të vërtetë në një botim për vitrinë të shtypit padovas: ky ishte libri i parë në të cilin padovasit e demonstruan aftësinë e tyre për të shtypur në një mori shkrimesh orientale.

In the resting condition in both the individual experiments, MT/v5 showed strong positive correlations with the lingual gyrus, dorsal cuneus and middle occipital gyrus, and a strong negative correlation with the thalamus.

 Messenger: Ancient Astronomy pt.2: Astronomer Biographies
The earliest form of writing dates back to 3300 B.C. The Sumerians drew "word-pictures" on clay tablets using a pointed instrument called a stylus.
These word-pictures developed into wedge-shaped signs, forming a type of script called cuneiform (from the Latin word cuneus, meaning wedge).
Writing was the responsibility of trained scribes, who were chosen for this role at an early age.

 Capacitor Summary
A student named Cuneus, experimenting in Leyden, was using a Hawkesbee machine to generate static electricity which was conducted by a chain into water in the jar--a simple type of Leyden jar.
When Cuneus touched the chain he received such an intense electric shock that it nearly killed him.
The news of this ability to store a large electrical current spread rapidly, and demonstrations in which the public willingly offered themselves as guinea pigs to be shocked took place.

This is known as homonymous hemianopsia (blindness in the same half visual field of each eye), and can be caused by a lesion anywhere behind the optic chiasm.
The answer is C. The cuneus is the superior portion of the calarine cortex, and receives fibers from the upper temporal retina of that side and from the upper nasal retina on the opposite side.
The left cuneus,therefore,controls vision in the lower nasal visual of the left eye and the lower temporal field of the right eye.
