  2. Superior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_gyrus

    The superior temporal gyrus also includes Wernicke's area, which (in most people) is located in the left hemisphere. It is the major area involved in the comprehension of language. The superior temporal gyrus is involved in auditory processing, including language, but also has been implicated as a critical structure in social cognition. [2] [3]

  3. Transverse temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_temporal_gyrus

    The transverse temporal gyrus, also called Heschl's gyrus (/ ˈ h ɛ ʃ əl z ˈ dʒ aɪ r aɪ /) or Heschl's convolutions, is a gyrus found in the area of each primary auditory cortex buried within the lateral sulcus of the human brain, occupying Brodmann areas 41 and 42.

  4. Inferior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_temporal_gyrus

    The inferior temporal gyrus is the anterior region of the temporal lobe located underneath the central temporal sulcus. The primary function of the occipital temporal gyrus – otherwise referenced as IT cortex – is associated with visual stimuli processing, namely visual object recognition, and has been suggested by recent experimental ...

  5. Temporoparietal junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporoparietal_junction

    The brain contains four main lobes: temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe. The temporoparietal junction lies in the region between the temporal and parietal lobes, near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Specifically, it is composed of the inferior parietal lobule and the caudal parts of the superior temporal ...

  6. Middle temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_temporal_gyrus

    Middle temporal gyrus is a gyrus in the brain on the temporal lobe. It is located between the superior temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. It corresponds largely to Brodmann area 21. The middle temporal gyrus is bounded by: the superior temporal sulcus above; the inferior temporal sulcus below;

  7. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    [1] [2] It is located bilaterally, roughly at the upper sides of the temporal lobes – in humans, curving down and onto the medial surface, on the superior temporal plane, within the lateral sulcus and comprising parts of the transverse temporal gyri, and the superior temporal gyrus, including the planum polare and planum temporale (roughly ...

  9. Superior temporal sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_sulcus

    In the human brain, the superior temporal sulcus (STS) is the sulcus separating the superior temporal gyrus from the middle temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe of the brain.A sulcus (plural sulci) is a deep groove that curves into the largest part of the brain, the cerebrum, and a gyrus (plural gyri) is a ridge that curves outward of the cerebrum.
