  2. Superior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_gyrus

    The superior temporal gyrus also includes Wernicke's area, which (in most people) is located in the left hemisphere. It is the major area involved in the comprehension of language. The superior temporal gyrus is involved in auditory processing, including language, but also has been implicated as a critical structure in social cognition. [2] [3]

  3. Superior temporal sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_sulcus

    In the human brain, the superior temporal sulcus (STS) is the sulcus separating the superior temporal gyrus from the middle temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe of the brain.A sulcus (plural sulci) is a deep groove that curves into the largest part of the brain, the cerebrum, and a gyrus (plural gyri) is a ridge that curves outward of the cerebrum.

  5. Wernicke's area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke's_area

    It is traditionally thought to reside in Brodmann area 22, located in the superior temporal gyrus in the dominant cerebral hemisphere, which is the left hemisphere in about 95% of right-handed individuals and 70% of left-handed individuals. [1] Damage caused to Wernicke's area results in receptive, fluent aphasia. This means that the person ...

    red:Brodmann area 41, green:Brodmann area 42, note 1: BA41 is bounded medially by Brodmann area 52 and laterally by BA42, note 2: pSTG is posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus In human brain anatomy, an operculum (Latin, meaning "little lid") ( pl. : opercula ), may refer to the frontal, temporal, or parietal operculum, which together ...

  7. Temporoparietal junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporoparietal_junction

    The brain contains four main lobes: temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe. The temporoparietal junction lies in the region between the temporal and parietal lobes, near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Specifically, it is composed of the inferior parietal lobule and the caudal parts of the superior temporal ...

  8. Planum temporale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planum_temporale

    The planum temporale makes up the superior surface of the superior temporal gyrus to the parietal lobe. [4] The posterior extent of the planum temporale has been variably defined, which has led to disputes to estimates of size and degree of asymmetry. [4]

    Area 37 – Fusiform gyrus; Area 38 – Temporopolar area (most rostral part of the superior and middle temporal gyri) Area 39 – Angular gyrus, considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area; Area 40 – Supramarginal gyrus considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area; Areas 41 and 42 – Auditory cortex; Area 43 – Primary gustatory ...
