Topic
Current neuroimaging, neurophysiological and behavioral investigations provide increasingly detailed insights into the functional neuroanatomy of the left temporal lobe. Studies in cognitively intact and in brain-demaged populations converge in considering the left temporal lobe as critical for the ricognition and processing of speech sounds; for the recognition, comprehension and retrieval of spoken and written nouns and verbs; for the sentence comprehension; for verbal memory skills. The role of the left temporal lobe in the neural networks involved in language and language-related tasks will be discussed by cognitive neuroscientists from the perspective of neuroanatoly, neurology, neuropsychology, neuroimaging and neurolinguistics.
