Temporal lobes
- Connections of the
temporal cortex
- Afferent projections
from sensory systems
- Efferent projections to the
parietal and frontal
association regions, limbic
system and basal ganglia
- Left and right connected via
- Corpus callosum
- Anterior commissure
- Temporal lobe function
- Processing auditory input
- Visual object recognition
- Long term storage of
information
- Sensory processes
- Identification and
categorization of stimuli
- Cross modal matching
- Affective responses
- Emotional response is
associated with a
particular stimulus
- Spatial navigation
- Hippocampus
- STS and biological motion
- Imaging research reveals
activation in the STS during
perception of biological
motion
- Hassan et al
- Thatcher illusion
- Split faces test
- Asymmetry of
temporal lobe function
- Left temporal lobe
- Verbal memory
- Speech processing
- Right temporal lobe
- Non verbal memory
- Musical processing
- Facial processing
- Symptoms of
temporal lobe lesions
- Auditory disturbance
- Disorders of music perception
- Disturbance of selection
of visual and auditory input
- Impaired organization and categorization
- Inability to use contextual information
- Altered personality and affective behaviour
- Altered sexual behaviour
- Dierks et al.
- Disorders of auditory and
speech perception
- Cortical deafness
- Absence of neural activity
in the auditory regions
- Auditory hallucinations
- Impaired auditory processing
- Have trouble discriminating
speech sounds
- Speech disorders
- Wernicke's aphasia
- Disturbed recognition of words
- Disorders of visual perception
- Patients with temporal lobe damage
are impaired at object recognition,
complex pattern recognition
- Right temporal lobe lesions lead
to abnormal face perception and
biological motion recognition
- Disturbance of selection of
visual and auditory input
- Selective attention to auditory input is
impaired in patients with temporal
lobe damage and can be tested with
dichotic listening
- Damage to the left temporal lobe
impairs recall of visual stimuli in
the right visual field
- Damage to the right temporal lobe
impairs recall of visual stimuli in
both visual fields.
- Organization and categorization
- Left temporal lobe lobectomies
lead to impairment in the ability to
categorize words/pictures/objects
- Posterior lesions lead to a
difficulty in recognizing
specific word categories
- Memory
- Antereograde amnesia
- Amnesia for events after
bilateral removal of the
medial temporal lobes
- Inferotemporal cortex
- Conscious recall
of information
- Left temporal lobe
- Verbal memory
- Right temporal lobe
- Impaired recall of
nonverbal material
- Affect and personality
- Stimulation of anterior and
medial temporal cortex
produces feelings of fear
- Temporal lobe personality
- Personality that
overemphasizes trivia
and petty details of life
- Pedantic speech
- Egocentricity
- Perseveration
- Paranoia
- Preoccupation with religion
- Prone to aggression
