Temporal Lobe

A Temporal Lobe is a brain structure within the cerebral cortex that processes sensory input.

• Context:
  • It can (typically) contain a Left Temporal Lobe, a Medial Temporal Lobe (with Hippocampus), and a Right Temporal Lobe.
• Example(s):
  • a Human Temporal Lobe.
  • a Human Temporal Lobe.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Frontal Cortex.
  • a Parietal Lobe.
  • a Occipital Lobe.

  • The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memories, language comprehension, and emotion association.
