Document Summary
Typical symptoms of temporal- lobe disorder: radical changes in affect and personality, memory disturbance, and at least a transient disturbance of language. The temporal lobe: all tissue below the lateral (sylvian) fissure and anterior to the occipital cortex. formation. Subcortical temporal-lobe structures include: limbic cortex, the amygdala, hippocampal. Connections to and from the temporal lobe extend throughout the brain: subdivisions of the temporal cortex. The visual regions are often referred to as inferotemporal cortex or te. Sylvian fissure contains tissue forming the insula. The superior temporal sulcus (sts) separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Receives input from auditory, visual, somatic regions (parietal, frontal cortex) Amygdala, adjacent cortex (uncus), hippocampus, surrounding cortex (subiculum, entorhinal cortex: area 28, perirhinal cortex: area 35, 35), fusiform gyrus. Th and tf at posterior end of temporal lobe referred to as the parahippocampal cortex. Fusiform gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus are functionally part of lateral temporal cortex: connections of the temporal cortex.
