Preferred Label : Temporal Lobe;
NCIt related terms : Temporal lobe structure (body structure); Brain, Temporal lobe;
NCIt definition : One of the cerebral lobes. It is located inferior to the frontal and parietal lobes
and anterior to the occipital lobe.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The second largest of the four cerebral lobes, the temporal lobe is approximately
twenty two percent of the total neocortical volume. The temporal lobe can be divided
into two main sections: first, the neocortex, comprising its lateral and inferolateral
surfaces, and its standard cerebral cortex; and, second, the mesial temporal lobe,
which is sometimes referred to as the limbic lobe, and includes the hippocampus, the
amygdala, and the parahippocampal gyrus. Grossly, the lobe extends superiorly to the
Sylvian fissure, and posteriorly to an imaginary line, the lateral parietotemporal
line, which separates the temporal lobe from the inferior parietal lobule superiorly
and the occipital lobe inferiorly. The middle cranial fossa forms its anterior and
inferior boundaries.;
