Lastly, the most inferior lobe, or the lobe at the bottom, is the temporal lobe. This lobe’s primary goal is to process information from the auditory cortex. In other words, this lobe analyzes and perceives the neural stimulation that is sent to the brain via our cochlea (Gazzaniga, Irvy, & Mangun, 2018). With that in mind, damage to this area may result in a number of auditory abnormalities. For example, research indicates that lesions to this area may result in the inability to identify specific sounds heard in our environment. Additionally, lesions in this area may also result in auditory hallucinations, or disturbances involving sounds that are not actually being perceived (Fourie, Van Der Merwe, & Swart, 2016). Interestingly, damage to this lobe has also been associated with issues with memory. For example, those with damage to this area have reported issues with long-term memory, altered emotions, and issues with comprehending language (Fourie, Van Der Merwe, & Swart, 2016).
