They lie at the sides of the [[brain]], beneath the [[Sylvian fissure|lateral or Sylvian fissure]]. Seen in profile, the [[human brain]] looks something like a [[boxing glove]]. The temporal lobes are where the thumbs would be. The temporal lobe is involved in [[auditory]] processing and is home to the [[primary auditory cortex]]. It is also heavily involved in [[semantics]] both in speech and [[Visual perception|vision]]. The temporal lobe contains the [[hippocampus]] and is therefore involved in memory formation as well. ==Additional images== <gallery> Image:Illu cerebrum lobes.jpg|<center>[[Lobes of the brain]].</center> Image:Gray724.png|<center>Base of brain.</center> Image:Gray743.png|<center>Coronal section through anterior cornua of lateral ventricles.</center> </gallery> <gallery> Image:Gray1197.png|<center>Drawing to illustrate the relations of the brain to the skull.</center> Image:Ventral-dorsal streams.svg|<center>The [[dorsal stream]] (green) and [[ventral stream]] (purple) in the temporal lobe are shown.</center> Image:Hippolobes.gif|<center>Drawing showing the [[hippocampus]] in 3-Space.</center> </gallery> ==See also== *[[Area TG of Bonin-1947]] *[[lobe (anatomy)]] *[[Temporal lobe epilepsy]] ==External links== * [http://www.sci.uidaho.edu/med532/temporal.htm University of Idaho] * [http://www.temporal-lobe.com Temporal-lobe.com An interactive diagram of the rat parahippocampal-hippocampal region] {{Prosencephalon}} [[Category:Cerebrum]] [[de:Temporallappen]] [[el:Κροταφικός λοβός]] [[es:Lóbulo temporal]] [[fa:لوب گیجگاهی]] [[fr:Lobe temporal]] [[nl:Temporale kwab]] [[ja:側頭葉]] [[no:Tinninglapp]] [[pl:Płat skroniowy]] [[fi:Ohimolohko]] [[sv:Temporallob]] [[th:กลีบขมับ]] [[zh:颞叶]]
