Temporal Lobe

The Human Brain is divided into two cerebral hemispheres called the cerebrum. The surface of each hemisphere is thrown into folds, or gyri. Each hemisphere can be divided into four lobes. There areas are frontal, occipital, temporal, and parietal.

Portions of the temporal lobe are concerend with memory functions. If both temporal lobes are removed, there is permanent loss of memories of past events. Language functions are also partially located here in the posterior part.
