Function of the Temporal Lobe
Each section of the human brain is responsible for different functions. The temporal lobe itself is divided into two sections, the left temporal lobe and the right temporal lobe, and includes the amygdala, hippocampus and olfactory cortex.
The main functions of the left temporal lobe include memory, language, reading comprehension, emotional stability and sensory input. The right temporal lobe regulates functions relating to speech, comprehending music, experiencing religious moments or other extreme emotions, and remembering songs, music or art.
Symptoms of a Temporal Lobe Injury
A wide variety of personal injury accidents, such as car accidents or workplace accidents, can cause temporal lobe injuries. Signs and symptoms of this type of injury can include:
- Inability to recognize words
- Decreased speech perception
- Long-term or short-term memory loss
- Inability to recognize faces
- Inability to recognize music and other tonal sequences
Severe temporal lobe injuries can cause seizures and/or lead to extreme changes in a person's personality and/or sexual behavior.
