Temporal lobe
Brain — Neocortex — Temporal lobe
Nervous system
Tissue Overview
The temporal lobe lies inferior to the lateral sulcus on each cerebral hemisphere. It is vital for auditory processing via the primary auditory cortex, and for high-level visual processing related to object and face recognition. Its medial region, including the hippocampus, is fundamental for forming and retrieving long-term declarative memories. The left temporal lobe is also central to language comprehension (Wernicke's area).
