Definition that contains temporal lobe
- amygdala an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behavior
- posterior temporal artery temporal artery that supplies the posterior part of the cortex of the temporal lobe
- auditory center the part of the brain (in a fold of the cerebral cortex of the temporal lobe on both sides of the brain) that receives impulses from the ear by way of the auditory nerve
- temporal gyrus any of the convolutions of the outer surface of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum
- fissure of sylvius the deepest and most prominent of the cortical fissures; separates the frontal lobes and temporal lobes in both hemispheres
- medial geniculate a neural structure that serves as the last of a series of processing centers along the auditory pathway from the cochlea to the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex
- arteria temporalis anterior temporal artery that goes to the anterior part of the cerebral cortex of the temporal lobe
- sulcus lateralis cerebri the deepest and most prominent of the cortical fissures; separates the frontal lobes and temporal lobes in both hemispheres
- basal vein a large vein passing along the medial surface of the temporal lobe and emptying into the great cerebral vein
- vena basalis a large vein passing along the medial surface of the temporal lobe and emptying into the great cerebral vein
