The parts of the side of the brain which are located adjacent to the temples. Damage to the temporal lobes can lead to cognitive, behavioural and physical disorders. The cognitive disorder is memory; the behavioural disorder ranges widely, including changes in anger and sexuality; the physical disorder is epilepsy. The memory disorder is likely to be "lateralized"; a left temporal disorder leading to disturbed verbal memory but preserved non-verbal memory. The opposite pattern is found with right temporal damage (with some exceptions).
The lower region of the cerebral cortex that is important for processing auditory information and also for memory. go to glossary index
located on each side of the head at about ear level, this major division of the cortex processes language and auditory and olfactory input; also play a role in sorting of information, believed to be an important aspect of short-term memory.
There are two temporal lobes, one on each side of the brain located at about the level of the ears. These lobes allow a person to tell one smell from another and one sound from another. They also help in sorting new information and are believed to be responsible for short-term memory. Right Lobe-- Mainly involved in visual memory (i.e., memory for pictures and faces). Left Lobe-- Mainly involved in verbal memory (i.e., memory for words and names).
Areas located on each side of the brain that are important in processing memory.
the areas of the brain that lie at the side of the head behind the temples and which are involved in hearing, memory, emotion, language, illusions, tastes, and smells. (see also lobe, anterior lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe.)
There are two temporal lobes, one on each side of the brain, at about the level of the ears. They are crucial for short term memory along with smell and hearing.
Right temporal lobe is mainly involved in visual memory. Left temporal lobe is mainly involved in verbal memory.
There are 2 temporal lobes, one on each side of the brain located approximately at the same level of the ears. These lobes allow a person to tell one smell from another and one sound from another. They also help to sort out new information and are responsible for short-term memory. Right Lobe: Mainly involved in visual memory e.g. memory for pictures and faces. Left Lobe: Mainly involved in verbal memory e.g. memory for words and names.
Area of cortex at side; contains auditory areas and language areas and is involved in other functions.
