Neuroscientists also believe that the temporal lobe has a role to play in short-term memory through its hippocampal formation, and in learned emotional responses through its amygdala. Be able to identify type of brain sections and the anatomical terms of location. Left visual field to the right hemisphere; input from right visual field to the left hemishpere.
