  2. 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.

  3. Association cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_cortex

    Association cortex. The association cortex is a part of the cerebral cortex that performs complex cognitive functions. [1][2] Unlike primary sensory or motor areas, which process specific sensory inputs or motor outputs, the association cortex integrates information from various sources to support higher-order cognitive processes.

  4. Temporoparietal junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporoparietal_junction

    The temporoparietal junction (TPJ) is an area of the brain where the temporal and parietal lobes meet, at the posterior end of the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). The TPJ incorporates information from the thalamus and the limbic system as well as from the visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems. The TPJ also integrates information from ...

  5. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

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

    The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[1][2] / lateralization [3][4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum ...

  6. Temporal dynamics of music and language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_Dynamics_of_Music...

    The temporal dynamics of music and language describes how the brain coordinates its different regions to process musical and vocal sounds. Both music and language feature rhythmic and melodic structure. Both employ a finite set of basic elements (such as tones or words) that are combined in ordered ways to create complete musical or lingual ideas.

  7. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    Visual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the encoding, storage and retrieval of the resulting neural representations. Visual memory occurs over a broad time range spanning from eye movements to years in order to visually navigate to a previously visited location. [1] Visual memory is a form of memory which ...

  8. Outline of the human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_the_human_brain

    Abstraction – a process by which concepts are derived from the usage and classification of literal concepts; Imagination – the ability to form new images and sensations that are not perceived through sight, hearing, or other senses; Wakefulness. Pre-attentive processing – the unconscious accumulation of information from the environment

  9. Auditosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditosensory_cortex

    Auditosensory cortex. The auditosensory cortex is the part of the auditory system that is associated with the sense of hearing in humans. It occupies the bilateral primary auditory cortex in the temporal lobe of the mammalian brain. [1] The term is used to describe Brodmann areas 41 and 42 together with the transverse temporal gyrus.
