  2. Superior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_gyrus

    The superior temporal gyrus (STG [1]) is one of three (sometimes two) gyri in the temporal lobe of the human brain, which is located laterally to the head, situated somewhat above the external ear. The superior temporal gyrus is bounded by: the lateral sulcus above; the superior temporal sulcus (not always present or visible) below;

  3. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    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, language comprehension, and emotion association. [4]: 21 Temporal refers to the head's temples.

  4. 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.

  5. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    The primary auditory cortex lies in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe and extends into the lateral sulcus and the transverse temporal gyri (also called Heschl's gyri). Final sound processing is then performed by the parietal and frontal lobes of the human cerebral cortex.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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.

  8. Superior longitudinal fasciculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_longitudinal...

    The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is an association tract in the brain that is composed of three separate components. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is present in both hemispheres and can be found lateral to the centrum semiovale and connects the frontal , occipital , parietal , and temporal lobes . [ 2 ]

  9. Brodmann area 22 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_22

    Brodmann area 22 is a Brodmann's area that is cytoarchitecturally located in the posterior superior temporal gyrus of the brain. [1] In the left cerebral hemisphere, it is one portion of Wernicke's area. [1] The left hemisphere BA22 helps with generation and understanding of individual words.
