Visual Object Recognition**: The temporal lobe, particularly the ventral stream or “what pathway,” is involved in recognizing and identifying visual objects, including faces and complex shapes. The fusiform face area, located in the fusiform gyrus of the temporal lobe, is associated with face recognition.

Emotion**: The temporal lobe, in collaboration with other brain regions, is involved in the processing and regulation of emotions. The amygdala, situated within the temporal lobe, plays a central role in emotional processing, particularly the generation and recognition of emotions, particularly fear.

Q

Temporal lobe

A

Those with tem­po­ral lobe epilepsy don’t usu­ally ex­pe­ri­ence the kind of seizure most peo­ple are fa­mil­iar with — where some­one col­lapses and con­vulses.

In­stead, they ex­pe­ri­ence par­tial seizures — when the per­son is still awake while their brain is seiz­ing. In those in­stances, the signs of seizure can vary. Some stare off into space, blink or do an­other mo­tion re­peat­edly.

Q

frontal and tem­po­ral lobes

A

They ob­served de­vel­op­men­tal lags in the frontal and tem­po­ral lobes of the brains of chil­dren stricken with se­vere poverty.

17
Q

Temporal lobe

A

The re­search, from Max Planck In­sti­tute in Ger­many, re­vealed that the pos­te­rior su­pe­rior tem­po­ral gyrus in our brain is re­spon­si­ble for voice recog­ni­tion.

18
Q

right pos­te­rior tem­po­ral lobe

A

The study showed that es­pe­cially per­sons with le­sions in cer­tain ar­eas of the right pos­te­rior tem­po­ral lobe ex­pe­ri­enced dif­fi­cul­ties recog­nis­ing voices.

19
Q

key part of the brain involved in memory consolidation and storage,

A

the temporal lobe, located in the middle of the brain right behind the frontal lobe.

20
Q

Temporal lobe

A

One of four main lobes in the cere­bral cor­tex, it plays an im­por­tant role in hear­ing, lan­guage, speech and mem­ory as­so­ci­a­tion and for­ma­tion

21
Q

Temporal lobe and the hippocampus

A

Deep in­side it is a sea horse­shaped struc­ture called the hip­pocam­pus, which is be­lieved to help turn short-term mem­o­ries into long-term ones. When this re­gion is af­fected, it al­ters the per­son’s abil­ity to cre­ate new mem­o­ries, called an­tero­grade am­ne­sia.

22
Q

TEMPORAL lobe seizures

A

TEMPORAL lobe seizures ori­gin­ate in the tem­poral lobes of your brain, which pro­cess emo­tions and are import­ant for short-term memory

23
Q

Prefrontal cortex

A

Improving the functionality of the prefrontal cortex involves a combination of lifestyle changes, mental exercises, and practices that promote brain health and cognitive function.

24
Q

strategies that may help enhance prefrontal cortex function:

A

Aerobic Exercise

Mental Stimulation

Healthy Diet

Adequate Sleep

Stress Management

Limit Distractions

Mental Training

Limit Distractions

Continual Learning

Social Interaction

Mindfulness Meditation

Goal Setting and Planning

25
Q

Damage pre-frontal cortex

A

res­sion, emo­tional sta­bil­ity and impulse con­trol are main­tained by two struc­tures of the
brain — namely Amy­g­dala and the pre-frontal cor­tex. Any changes in these areas either struc­tur­ally or func­tion­ally can res­ult in anti­so­cial beha­viour

26
Q

WHY HARD THINKING MAKES YOU FEEL TIRED

A

when intense cog­nit­ive work is pro­longed for sev­eral hours, it causes poten­tially toxic byproducts to build up in the part of the brain known as the pre­frontal cor­tex.

27
Q

left lat­eral pre­frontal cor­tex

A

left lat­eral pre­frontal cor­tex, ac­tu­ally plays a ma­jor role in a per­son’s abil­ity to re­sist en­tice­ment of any ob­ject or ser­vice.

28
Q

Brodmann areas 41 and 42

A

are parts of the primary auditory cortex. This is the first cortical destination of auditory information stemming from the thalamus. Neural activity in this brain part corresponds most strongly with the objective physical properties of a sound.

29
Q

Post central gyrus

A

The postcentral gyrus lies in the parietal lobe, posterior to the central sulcus. It is the site of the primary somatosensory cortex. The somatosensory homunculus is the representation of the distribution of the contralateral body parts on the gyrus.

30
Q

FMRI

A

This real-time fMRI study has the potential to change the reflexologist’s technique application to focus on particular reflex areas for optimizing treatment results and to establish a neurobiological basis for predicting treatment outcomes in patients with neurological disorders.

31
Q

PARIETAL LOBE

A

Positioned at the back of the brain, the parietal lobe is referred to as the brain’s sensory area. It can be broken into two parts. One part is primarily concerned with perception and sensation and the other is involved with integrating sensory input.

32
Q

OCCIPITAL LOBE

A

The smallest of the four lobes is positioned at the back of the skull. The occipital lobe is primarily concerned with controlling vision and visual processing. The functions of this lobe include: colour recognition, shape differentiation and many other visual processes.

33
Q

Occipital lobe

A

The occipital lobe sits in the lower, back part of the brain. Containing the visual cortex, this lobe’s primary function is to process visual information. The parietal lobe lies above the occipital lobe, and its primary function is to integrate sensory information, such as vision, but also touch and sound. In doing so, the parietal lobe assembles elementary building bricks from so-called “lower-order” brain regions to create concepts
