What is the function of the temporal lobe of the brain

The main functional areas include the auditory center, which is located in the middle of the superior temporal gyrus and the transverse temporal gyrus, and the sensory distal center, which is located in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus of the dominant hemisphere. There is also the olfactory center, which is located in the anterior part of the sulcus gyrus and hippocampal gyrus receiving bilateral olfactory fibers. The anterior part of the temporal lobe is related to memory and association of more advanced mental activities, and the hippocampus is an important structure of the limbic system, which is mainly related to mental activities, so clinically when the temporal lobe is damaged, patients will have sensory aphasia, naming aphasia, auditory disturbances, and also occur epilepsy, hallucinations, and psychiatric symptoms.
