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
- amygdaloid nucleus 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
- pick's disease a progressive form of presenile dementia found most often in middle-aged and elderly women and characterized by degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes with loss of intellectual ability and transitory aphasia
- lateral cerebral sulcus the deepest and most prominent of the cortical fissures; separates the frontal lobes and temporal lobes in both hemispheres
- arteria temporalis posterior temporal artery that supplies the posterior part of the cortex of the temporal lobe
- temporal artery any of the three arteries on either side of the brain supplying the cortex of the temporal lobe
- corpus geniculatum mediale 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
- anterior temporal artery temporal artery that goes to the anterior part of the cerebral cortex of the temporal lobe
- 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
