Document Summary
Connections of the temporal cortex: afferent projections from sensory systems, efferent projections to parietal and frontal association regions, limbic system, and basal ganglia, left & right connected via. Studies o(cid:374) (cid:373)o(cid:374)key"s te(cid:373)porocortial co(cid:374)(cid:374)ectio(cid:374)s reveal 5 disti(cid:374)ct types of cortical-cortical connections: hierarchical sensory pathway subserves stimulus recognition: hierarchical progression of connections emanates from the primary and secondary auditory and visual areas, ending in the temporal pole. Detection of spatial location/movement: polymodal pathway. From auditory and visual areas to the polymodal cortex (sts) From auditory and visual areas to the medial temporal lobe, limbic cortex, hippocampal formation, and amygdala. Auditory and visual cortex to the frontal lobe. Hippocampal projection forms the perforant pathway, that when disrupted, results in major dysfunction of hippocampal activity. Frontal-lobe projection necessary for various aspects of movement control, short-term memory and affect: series of parallel projections reaches from the temporal association areas to the frontal lobe.
