A sulcus bordering temporal cortical regions that contribute to auditory, visual and language-related processing. Responses to sentence structure and modality depend on the particular subdivision and comparison.
A temporal-lobe gyrus containing auditory and language-related territories. Its functions vary along its extent and according to task; the anatomical name is not a single computational module.
The anterior part of the temporal lobe, important in networks supporting semantic representations. Progressive degeneration can affect this region and its connections rather than one isolated processing node.
The most anterior part of the temporal lobe. It is a stimulation target in studies of semantic processing; the effect of perturbation must be interpreted in relation to the wider network.
A historical anatomical label associated with language comprehension, commonly centered on posterior superior temporal cortex. Its boundaries and functional interpretation vary across usages; a clinical syndrome is not confined automatically to this one area.
