The temporal lobes are a region of the cerebral cortex that is located beneath the Sylvian fissure on both the left and right hemispheres of the brain. [14] Lobes in this cortex are more closely associated with memory and in particular autobiographical memory. [15] The temporal lobes are also concerned with recognition memory.
The limbic system is a term that was introduced in 1949 by the American physician and neuroscientist, Paul D. MacLean. [34] [35] The French physician Paul Broca first called this part of the brain le grand lobe limbique in 1878. [6] He examined the differentiation between deeply recessed cortical tissue and underlying, subcortical nuclei. [36]

The frontal lobe consists of the prefrontal cortex which is located in the most anterior (farthest away) section of the frontal lobe. It is critical for one's working memory and executive control which helps keep goals and complex tasks organized. The divisions of the prefrontal cortex include orbital, medial, and lateral prefrontal cortex.
The cingulate cortex is usually considered part of the limbic lobe. It receives inputs from the thalamus and the neocortex, and projects to the entorhinal cortex via the cingulum. It is an integral part of the limbic system, which is involved with emotion formation and processing, [1] learning, [2] and memory.
The “spacing effect” refers to a phenomenon whereby learning, or the creation of a memory, occurs more effectively when information, or exposure to a stimulus, is spaced out.
The limbic lobe is an arc-shaped cortical region of the limbic system, on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere of the mammalian brain, consisting of parts of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.
Lower brain oxygen levels caused by sleep apnea were linked to changes to the white matter, which could lead to cognitive problem, a new study suggests. Sleep apnea impacts brain in ways that may ...
