ANATOMY• Percentage of Temporal lobe:total cerebral cortex volume in humans: 22%
• The Temporal Lobe contains all the tissue in the brain that lies below the Sylvian (Lateral) fissure and anterior to the Occipital cortex.
• Subcortical Temporal lobe structures include –
- Limbic cortex
- Amygdala
- and Hippocampal formation.
• Connections to and fro from the temporal lobe extends throughout the brain.
• Has 2 sulci that run parallel to the posterior ramus of the lateral sulcusnamed Superior and Inferior temporal sulci.
• These sulci divide the superolateral surface of temporal lobe into Superior, Middle and Inferior Temporal Gyri.

SUPERIOR TEMPORAL LOBE
• This is bounded by:
- the lateral sulcus above;
- the superior temporal sulcus below;
• It contains several important structures including:
- Brodmann areas 41 and 42, marking the location of the Primary auditory
cortex, known as Transverse temporal gyri (also called Heschl's gyri)
- Wernicke's area, Brodmann 22
![Page 8: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MIDDLE TEMPORAL LOBE
The region encompasses most of the lateral temporal cortex, a region believed to
play a part in auditory processing and language.
- Language function is left lateralized in most individuals.
- Brodmann area 21.
![Page 9: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
INFERIOR TEMPORAL LOBE
• In humans it corresponds approximately to the inferior temporal gyrus.
• Brodmann area 20.
• The region encompasses most of the ventral temporal cortex, a region believed to play a part in high-level visual processing and recognition memory.
![Page 10: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AMYGDALA
•The amygdala (Latin,meaning'almond') are almond-shaped groups of neurons located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain, in close relation to anterior end of inferior horn of lateral ventricle, located at anterior end of hippocampal formation.
![Page 11: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Hippocampus
- The hippocampus is a scrolled structure located in the medial temporal lobe.
- can be divided into at least 5 different areas.
- Areas CA3 and CA1 are more diffuse; CA2 is hard to distinguish between them.
- (CA stands for cornu ammonis, from its
ram's horn shape.)
- The subiculum sits at the base of the hippocampus, and is continuous with entorhinal cortex, which is part of the parahippocampal gyrus.
![Page 12: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dentate gyrus• Part of the hippocampal formation.
• Contains granule cells, which project to the pyramidal cells and interneurons of the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus.
• The granule cells are the principal excitatory neurons of the dentate gyrus.
• The major input to the dentate gyrus (Perforant pathway) is from the entorhinal cortex, and the dentate gyrus receives no direct inputs from other cortical structures.
• The dentate gyrus is also one of the few regions of the brain where neurogenesis takes place. Neurogenesis is thought to play a role in the formation of new memories.

Connections of the Temporal Lobes-
Five main types:
1. Hierarchical sensory pathway
2. Dorsal auditory pathway
3. Polymodal pathway
4. Medial (mesial) temporal pathway
5. Frontal lobe projection
![Page 14: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hierarchical sensory pathwayconnections from primary and secondary auditory
and visual cortical
through the lateral temporal cortex
terminate in the temporal pole
• Subserves stimulus recognition
![Page 15: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dorsal auditory pathway
• Forms important functional connections from auditory areas to posterior parietal cortex
• Concerned with directing movements with respect to auditory information
![Page 16: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Polymodal Pathway
• A series of parallel projections from the visual and auditory association areas into the polymodal regions of the superior temporal sulcus
• Functions in stimulus categorization
![Page 17: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Medial Temporal Projection
• Projections from auditory and visual areas into the limbic regions
E.g., amygdala and hippocampus
• Also called Perforant pathway
• Serves function in long term memory
![Page 18: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Frontal-lobe Projection
• Auditory and visual information goes to two prefrontal regions, one on the dorsolateral surface and the other in the orbital region
• necessary for various aspects of movement control, short-term memory and affect.
![Page 19: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Temporal Lobe Function
• Three Basic Sensory Functions :
– Processing auditory input
– Visual object recognition
– Long-term storage of sensory input (Memory)
![Page 20: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Temporal Lobe Function
• Sensory Processes
– Identification and Categorization of Stimuli
– Cross-Modal Matching
• Process of matching visual and auditory information
• Depends on cortex of the superior temporal sulcus
• Affective Responses
– Emotional response is associated with a particular stimulus
• Spatial Navigation
– Hippocampus – Spatial Memory
![Page 21: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS) and Biological Motion
• Functional Imaging reveals activation in the STS during perception of Biological motion.
• Biological Motion
– Movements relevant to a species , Social perceptions
– Allow us to guess others’ intentions
![Page 22: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
FUNCTIONS OF TEMPORAL LOBE
![Page 23: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Consider an example..
• Imagine that you want to buy a car and now you are riding a two wheeler. On your ride, you notice many different cars, and you decide to keep a mental list of the brands and coloursthat you encounter so that you can discuss with family and friends later on.
• As you ride along, you suddenly stop and back up—you have encountered a traffic policeman on the roadside of the next square walking with a fineslip towards you . You decide to change routes and look for cars elsewhere!
• What temporal-lobe functions took part in your experience?
![Page 24: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• To be aware of specific type, colour and brand- object recognition by ventral visual pathway
• To categorize quickly as they are in motion-polymodalpathway in superior temporal sulcus
• Matching acceleration/engine sound to visual input- Cross modal matching by dorsal auditory pathway
• Policeman walking towards you- “Biological motion” by superior temporal sulcus
• On seeing fineslip- increased HR and BP and affective response- by amygdala
• To change route and search elsewhere (spatial orientation)-hippocampus
• To remember all the cars and discuss- medial temporal lobe
![Page 25: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
TEMPORAL LOBE FUNCTIONS
• SPECIAL SENSES
– Hearing
• FUNCTIONS OF LIMBIC SYSTEM
– Memory
– Emotions & Mood
– Attitudes & Social Behaviour
• LANGUAGE FUNCTIONS
– Semantics
– Naming
• VISUAL & OTHER SENSORY INTEGRATION
![Page 26: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
HEARING
• Auditory cortex lies principally on the supratemporal plane of superior temporal gyrus (Heschl’s gyrus)
• Primary cortex has tonotopic arrangement:
– high tones terminate in medial portion
– Low tones in lateral portions
• Particular sound frequency causes excitation of particular cortical area =sound frequency perception
• Also helps in discrimination of sound patterns like combination or sequence of tones
• Also takes part along with superior olivary nucleus in mechanism for detecting sound direction
![Page 27: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HEARING
Nondominant hemisphere- non-verbal aspect, recognition of harmony & melody
Dominant hemisphere- verbal aspect,naming of musical scores & all the semantic (writing, reading)
aspects of music
![Page 28: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
LIMBIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
• Coordinate sensory events with bodily and visceral needs
• Regulate innate automatised activities concerned with feeding, searching, sex, & emotion-provoking situations
• Neurotransmitters:
– For memory- acetyl choline
– Norepinephrine in medial parts of limbic system
– Amygdala, septal nuclei & lateral parts are rich in serotonin
![Page 29: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
TEMPORAL LOBE/LIMBIC SYSTEM:FUNCTION
• Limbic system regulates emotions and motivations—particularly those related to survival—such as fear, anger, and pleasure (sex and eating)
• Feelings of pleasure/reward are very powerful and self-sustaining. Pleasurable behaviors activate a circuit of specialized nerve cells in the limbic area that is devoted to producing and regulating pleasure called the reward system

MEMORY-Medial temporal lobes
• The MTL is comprised of multiple structures including the
• This is involved in explicit or declarative memory.
• It has essential role in the formation of new memories about experienced events (episodic or autobiographical memory).
Hippocampal formation, Amygdala, Entorhinal cortex, and Surrounding perirhinal and parahippocampal cortices
![Page 32: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Memory : HIPPOCAMPUS
• Critical in laying down declarative memory, but is not necessary for working memory / procedural memory / memory storage.
• The hippocampal formation plays a role in memory consolidation
• Damage to the hippocampus usually results in profound difficulties in forming new memories (anterograde amnesia), and normally also affects access to memories prior to the damage (retrograde amnesia) but does not affect procedural memory
![Page 33: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Memory : Parahippocampal cortex
•Sensitive to familiarity with stimulus location or the geometry of surrounding space
•Patients with a lesion limited to parahippocampal cortex lose the ability to acquire new topographic knowledge
•The Parahippocampal Area responds selectively to visual stimuli that convey information about the layout of local space.
![Page 34: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Emotional learning
Amygdala perform primary roles in the formation and storage of memories associated with emotional events
![Page 35: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
WERNICKE’S AREA
• The sensory area of the dominant hemisphere for interpretation of language is Wernicke’s area.
• Closely associated with hearing areas
• Provides, at the input stage, an entry point for conversion of auditory sequences into neural word representations leading to meaning-appropriate content words.
• Localization of lexicon (vocabulary ) for spoken word recognition exists in middle part of left superior & middle temporal gyri
• Lexicon for written word recognition exists in posterior part of left middle temporal gyrus
• A major share of our sensory experience is converted into language equivalent before stored in memory areas
![Page 36: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
WERNICKE’S AREA
Reception in primary auditory area of sound signals that encode words
Interpretation of words in Wernicke’s area
Determination of thoughts & words to be spoken in Wernicke’s area
Transmission of signals form wernicke’s area to Broca’s area by arcuate fasciculus
Activation of skilled motor programs in Broca’s area for control of word formation
Transmission of appropriate signals into motor cortex to control speech muscles
Primary visual area is the initial receptive area

![Page 37: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
VISUAL INTEGRATION
• Middle & inferior temporal gyri (areas 21 & 37) receive massive contingent fibers form striate cortex (area 17) & parastriate visual association areas (areas 18,19)
• Subserves visual discriminative functions like spatial orientation, estimation of depth & distance, stereoscopic vision, & hue perception
• It integrates vision intimately with all forms of exteroception & proprioception
• Bitemporal lobectomy in animals-‘psychic blindness’
![Page 38: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
SENSORY INTEGRATION
• Temporal lobe is great integrator of ‘sensations, emotions and behaviour’
• It is the site where sensory modalities are integrated into ultimate self-awareness
• Similar suprasensory integrative mechanisms are operative in parietal lobe, but only in the temporal lobe are they brought into close relationship to one’s instinctive & emotional life
![Page 39: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Stream of thinking (internal conversation that is constant in waking state) requires language & memory functions, both of which involve temporal lobe
• Temporal lobe throughout the life assembles all fragments of present & past experiences of all kinds into awareness of personal integrity which is only interrupted by sleep
• Temporal neocortex functions to bring ultimate awareness that ‘I am’.
![Page 40: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
OTHER FUNCTIONS
• Vestibular functions:– Some fibers from vestibular input are relayed in superior temporal
gyrus
– Episodic vertigo may represent the aura or sole manifestation of temporal CPS
• Time perception:– Main neural mechanism subserving time perception & integrating it
with other sensory inputs and memory lies in temporal lobe
– With disorder of temporal lobe of either side, there may be intermittent disturbance of time perception
![Page 41: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Symptoms of Temporal Lobe Lesions
1. Disturbance of Auditory Sensation and perception
2. Disorders of music perception
3. Disorders of visual perception
4. Disturbance in the selection of visual and auditory input
5. Impaired organization and categorisation of sensory input
6. Inability to use contextual information
7. Impaired long term memory

![Page 43: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
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
![Page 44: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Organization and Categorization
• Left temporal lobe lobectomies lead to impairment in the ability to categorize words or pictures of objects
• Posterior lesions lead to a difficulty in recognizing specific word categories
![Page 45: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Using Contextual Information
• Stimuli can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context
– Example: Fall - the season or a tumble
![Page 46: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
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
![Page 47: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Affect and Personality
• Stimulation of anterior and medial temporal cortex produces feelings of fear
• Temporal lobe personality
– Personality that overemphasizes trivial and petty details of life
– Pedantic speech (an overly formal speaking style inappropriate to the
conversational setting)
– Egocentricity (preoccupation with one’s own internal world)
– Perseveration
– Paranoia
– Preoccupation with religion
– Proneness to aggression
![Page 48: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Changes in Sexual Behavior
• Release of sexual behavior seen after bilateral temporal damage
![Page 49: Temporal lobe ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082202/55a728ed1a28ab7e5e8b4732/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Superior temporal Gyrus
• Auditory radiations run from the medial geniculate body to the Auditory cortex ( areas 41 and 42) in the superior temporal gyrus.
• Hearing is represented bilaterally in the temporal lobes.
(contralateral predominance)
• Nearby areas - differentiation and interpretation of sounds.
• Electrical stimulaton of auditory area leads to vague auditory hallucination (tinnitus, sensation of roaring and buzzing ), and adjacent areas causes vertigo and a sensation of unsteadiness.
• Unilateral destruction of the Auditory cortex lead to difficulty in sound localisation and a bilateral decrease of auditory acuity.
• Bilateral disease lead to Cortical deafness (may be unaware of their deficits).
• Audiometric tests may be helpful to reveal mild deficits.
• Involvement of vestibular areas may cause difficulty in equillibrium and imbalance

Wernickes Aphasia
• Also known as Fluent / Recepetive / Sensory / Postrolandic Aphasia• Due to destruction of posterior superior temporal area of the dominant
hemisphere supplied by inferior division of MCA.– Fluency is preserved with a normal or even increased word
output (LOGORRHEA)– Speech although effortless is devoid of meaningful content– Paraphasias, Neologisms and defective sentence structure
(PARAGRAMMATISM) (JARGON APHASIA)– Auditory comprehension is impaired, even unaware of his own
speech, and doesnot correct himself.– Repetition impaired– Reading impaired– Naming impaired– Writing impaired– Patient often is unaware of the defect

Temporal lobe epilepsy / psychomotor seizures
• Patients with Temporal lobe lesion may have visual hallucinations and perversions.
• Visual hallucinations are complex with image distortion (macropsia / micropsia / near / far )
• May have an auditory component
• Lesions involving medial temporal lobe in the region of Uncus ( so also k/a UNCINATE FITS which involve olfactory hallucination also)
• Seizures may present as : automatisms, illusions and hallucinations , and pilomotor erections.
• Amnesia for the event is usually seen.
• DÉJÀ VU ( already seen), JAMAIS VU (something familiar is strange or new), DEJA PENSEE/ DEJA VACU ( something new seeming strangely familiar) , EXPERIENTIAL HALLUCINATIONS (Hallucinations based on remembered experiences)

KLUVER- BUCY SYNDROME
• Experimentally due to bilateral ablation of temporal lobes in monkeys.
• Placidity i.e. extreme calmness
• Lack the ability to visually recognize objects.
• Striking tendency to put everything into mouth.
• Hypersexuality
• Increased food intake
• Seen only in partial forms in humans ( placidity and enhanced oral behavior are the most common presentations)
