The '''temporal lobes''' are parts of the [[telencephalon|cerebrum]] that are involved in [[speech communication|speech]], [[memory]], and [[hearing]]. 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.
