Scientific American (SA) points out that although there are medical illustrators on staff at the University of Southern California it is highly likely that they were not consulted before putting out the cited press release about a $50 million dollar donation. The brain is shown back to front!
Additional images of the brain are available from Google.

The visual cortex is in the occipital lobe in the rear of the brain, and this where actual image processing happens in an actual brain. Thus the illustration is perfectly correct in context.
