Document Summary
Radical changes in affect (emotion) and personality, memory disturbances, and at least a transient disturbance of language. Temporal lobes comprise all of the tissue that lies below the lateral (sylvian) fissure and anterior to the occipital cortex. Subcortical temporal lobe structures include the limbic cortex, the amygdala, and the hippocampal formation. Connections to and from the temporal lobe extend throughout the brain. Divide temporal regions on the lateral surface into those that are auditory (brodmann"s areas 41, 42, and 22) and those that form the ventral visual stream on the lateral temporal lobe (areas 20,21,37, and 38) The temporal sulci enfold a lot of cortex- especially the lateral (sylvian) fissure contains tissue forming the insula, which includes the gustatory cortex as well as the auditory association cortex. The superior temporal sulcus (sts) separates the superior and middle temporal gyri and houses a significant amount of neocortex as well.
