language, sensory aspect like comprehnesion

40
Q

Function of Angular gyrus of Parietal lobe?

A

near the superior edge of the temporal lobe, and immediately posterior to the supramarginal gyrus; language, number processing and spatial cognition, memory retrieval, attention, and theory of mind

41
Q

Function of Temporal lobe
