	Temporal lobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The superior temporal gyrus includes an area (within the Sylvian fissure) where auditory signals from the cochlea (relayed via several subcortical nuclei) first reach the cerebral cortex.
		The underside (ventral) part of the temporal cortices appear to be involved in high-level visual processing of complex stimuli such as faces (fusiform gyrus) and scenes (parahippocampal gyrus).
		parietal lobe: postcentral sulcus, postcentral gyrus (1, 2, 3, 43), superior parietal lobule (5), inferior parietal lobule (39-angular gyrus, 40), precuneus (7), intraparietal sulcus

	Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 824
		The superior temporal gyrus lies between the posterior ramus of the lateral fissure and the superior temporal sulcus, and is continuous behind with the supramarginal and angular gyri.
		The inferior temporal gyrus is placed below the middle temporal sulcus, and is connected behind with the inferior occipital gyrus; it also extends around the infero-lateral border on to the inferior surface of the temporal lobe, where it is limited by the inferior sulcus.
		Lateral to this fissure is the narrow tentorial part of the inferior temporal gyrus, and medial to it the fusiform gyrus, which extends from the occipital to the temporal pole; this gyrus is limited medially by the collateral fissure, which separates it from the lingual gyrus behind and from the hippocampal gyrus in front.

	Superior frontal gyrus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The superior frontal gyrus, like the inferior frontal gyrus and the middle frontal gyrus, is more of a region than a true gyrus.
		The borders of the middle frontal gyrus are the superior frontal sulcus below; the medial longitudinal fissure along the midline of the brain; and the precentral sulcus behind.
		(Neuron vol 50, p 329 [2]) have found evidence that the superior frontal gyrus is involved in self-awareness, in coordination with the action of the sensory system.

	LEFT TEMPORAL LOBE ABNORMALITIES IN SCHIZOPHRENIA AND THOUGHT DISORDER: A QUANTITATIVE MRI STUDY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Laterality and region effects for temporal lobe structures were examined by a mixed-model analysis of variance with one between factor, group (schizophrenic vs. normal), and two within factors, laterality (left vs. right), and region (anterior hippocampus/amygdala, posterior hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and superior temporal gyrus).
		Left lateralized volume reductions in anterior amygdala-hippocampal complex, superior temporal gyrus, and parahippocampal gyrus are compatible with MR cross-sectional (area) measurements in anterior amygdala-hippocampal complex [10-12,15] and parahippocampal gyrus [15] and with post-mortem studies reporting tissue reductions in hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus, [1-3,7-8] and cellular disarray in left amygdala [66] and entorhinal cortex.
		For the quantitative measurements the anterior border of the STG was defined by the extent of the amygdalohippocampal complex.

	[No title]
		Sitting at the junction of the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, the inferior region (which includes the angular and supramarginal gyri) has no strict anatomical boundaries, is partly coextensive with the posterior-superior temporal gyrus, and includes part of area 7 as well as area 37.
		Over the course of evolution the amygdala, hippocampus, and medial temporal lobe began to balloon outward and upward, giving rise to superior temporal lobe, and then continuing to expand in a posterior direction, forming part of the angular and marginal gyrus.
		Given its location at the border regions of the somesthetic, auditory, and visual neocortices, and containing neurons and receiving input from these modalities, as the inferior parietal lobule evolved it became increasingly multimodally responsive; a single neuron simultaneously receiving highly processed somesthetic, visual, auditory and movement related input from the various association areas.

	AUDITORY APHASIAS
		Auditory aphasias result from damage to a portion of the temporal lobe that includes part or all of six different cortical areas as defined on the basis of internal structure of the cortex, namely areas 41, 42, 22, 39, 21 and 37 of Brodmann.
		Patients with temporal aphasia lost the ability to recognize the combinations of distinctive features that define phonemes and thus were unable to recognize them.
		Unlike the nominal aphasias that result from parietal or frontal lobe lesions, the nominal aphasia associated with temporal lobe lesions is is not alleviated by prompting.

		A total of 217 patients with intractable nonlesional left temporal lobe epilepsy were selected according to standard inclusion criteria across eight epilepsy surgery centers.
		Patients were combined into four groups representing the most common approaches to left anterior temporal lobectomy: a) tailored resections with intraoperative mapping of eloquent cortex, b) tailored resections with extraoperative mapping, c) standard resections with sparing of the superior temporal gyrus, and d) standard resections including excision of the superior temporal gyrus.
		Across surgical techniques the risk for significant decline in visual confrontation naming ability was associated with a later age of recurrent seizure onset and more extensive resection of the lateral temporal neocortex.

	The Women's Health Site
		OBJECTIVE: An abnormal superior temporal gyrus has figured prominently in schizophrenia research, and left superior temporal gyrus volume has been shown to be smaller in male subjects with schizotypal personality disorder.
		METHOD: The superior temporal gyrus was drawn on coronal images acquired from female subjects recruited from the community (schizotypal personality disorder group: N=21, comparison group: N=29).
		CONCLUSIONS: This study of female subjects with schizotypal personality disorder showed no superior temporal gyrus volume differences, but preliminary findings indicate that among female subjects with schizotypal personality disorder, there is a left-right difference in those who have a family history of mental illness relative to those who do not.

	Local and Distributed Effects of Apomorphine on Fronto-Temporal Function in Acute Unmedicated Schizophrenia -- Fletcher ...
		Likewise, in the same comparison the schizophrenic subjects showed decreases in the superior temporal gyrus bilaterally (far less spatially extensive than those seen in controls with some areas of activation) and in the posterior and midcingulate gyrus, the right middle frontal gyrus, and the left fusiform gyrus (Table 3).
		The absence of the normal reciprocal interaction between the prefrontal and the superior temporal cortex in schizophrenia, i.e., failure of task-related deactivation of the superior temporal gyrus in the schizophrenic group, can be interpreted within the context of impaired functional integration.
		Whether it reflects a direct effect of the apomorphine on the temporal lobe or a ``downstream'' effect of the anterior cingulate change (i.e., a normalization of task-related cingulate activation influences the fronto-temporal interactions resulting in a normalization of task-related deactivation) is unclear.

	Ceruloplasmin levels in the human superior temporal gyrus in aging and Alzheimer's disease. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the present study we observed a loss in excess of 1/3 of the copper transport and anti-oxidant protein ceruloplasmin in both the gray and white matter from superior temporal gyrus in Alzheimer's diseased brains compared to age-matched controls.
		A decrease in ceruloplasmin could be reflected in decreased cellular metabolic processes such as the electron transport system and a decrease in the ability of the brain to protect itself from oxidative damage.
		These results coupled with previous reports from this laboratory on iron regulatory proteins in the brain suggests one way in which cellular dysfunction and oxidative stress occurs in AD may be through a loss of ability to maintain a balance of essential metals.
