  2. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. [3] The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory ...

  3. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    [30]: 107 [31] Interestingly, research has shown quite opposite function of brain lateralisation, i.e. right hemisphere creatively and chaotically links between concepts and left hemisphere tends to adhere to specific date and time, although generally adhering to the pattern of left-brain as linguistic interpretation and right brain as spatio ...

  4. Wernicke's area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke's_area

    Its functions extend beyond mere speech comprehension, encompassing complex cognitive tasks like semantic processing, discerning metaphorical language, and even contributing to the understanding of non-verbal elements in communication. [16] Comparative neurology studies have shed light on the evolutionary aspects of Wernicke's area.

  5. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus, also called the Sylvian fissure.

  6. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    Asymmetry in the Sylvian fissure (also known as the lateral sulcus), which separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe, was one of the first incongruencies to be discovered. Its anatomical variances are related to the size and location of two areas of the human brain that are important for language processing, Broca's area ...

  7. Brodmann areas 41 and 42 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_areas_41_and_42

    Brodmann areas 41 and 42 are parts of the primary auditory cortex.. Brodmann area 41 is also known as the anterior transverse temporal area 41 (H). It is a cytoarchitectonic division of the cerebral cortex occupying the anterior transverse temporal gyrus (H) in the bank of the lateral sulcus on the dorsal surface of the temporal lobe.

  9. Frontoparietal network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontoparietal_network

    The salience network is theorised to mediate switching between the default mode network and frontoparietal network (central executive network). [1] [2] [3]The frontoparietal network (FPN), generally also known as the central executive network (CEN) or, more specifically, the lateral frontoparietal network (L-FPN) (see Nomenclature), is a large-scale brain network primarily composed of the ...
