The Temporal Lobe - Location and Function

[@marilynwhorton178]

My brain was severely damaged by my first craniotomy when the surgeons were attempting to remove the fibrous dysplasia in the right portion of my skull. Technology in 1981 (age 34) did not reveal more hard tissue directly beneath the fibrous dysplaysia . The drill kept going till it reached brain fluid. They had to save my life rather than remove any fibrous dysplasia. More craniotomies, reconstructions of my eye socket and right temple and petit mal seizures followed. I wish I had known the valuable info from this fantastic video. It would have saved me and everyone around me to be understood. I’m now 75 years old.

Love this video. Just an epileptic with temporal lobe epilepsy.

Really liked watching this as I had a right temporal lobe tumor removed around 17 years ago now an they were suppose to remove my Hippocampus but the neurologist said to the neurosurgeon DONT TOUCH IT AT ALL, an they argued but at the last minute the machine showed it highlight meaning they seen it working an showed them its still active, so decided to leave it there an just drained a cyst of fluid an removed the tumor an left the hippocampus.... let's just say I don't think I would be where I am today had they not made that huge last minute decision. Blessed an truly very lucky today! Thanks for sharing this as it reminds me where I forever have problems with certain things an this video reminds me it's not my fault :-)

Easy to understand excellent videos about how the different parts of the brain function. Thanks for putting these together.

[@lindsaypack3464]

Thank you! I love how you break down terms because it allows me to understand better.

this video is concise but straight to the point, which is exactly what I need right now. Thank you sir.

[@zahidullahkhan4530]

Wonderful video. Clinicians usually don’t have bottom knowledge of brain to much extent. This video explained the anatomy and physiology in excellent way.

[@PsychExplained]

Great to hear. I have found more and more clinicians use these videos to help their patients. So wonderful!

You are one amazing teacher! Thank you for your clarity and great presentation 👍👍👍

[@meghancharlebois]

One of the Best video's, it explains thoroughly but in a very straightforward way. Many thanks I am very glad to have found this. I have a brain cyst in my 3rd ventricle which is 1.2cm. It unfortunately caused me to have Hydrocephalus so I had immediate brain surgery to implant a VP Shunt (8yrs ago). After surgery I ended up being diagnosed with Epilepsy and also have Mesial Temporal Lobe Sclerosis. I just spent another week in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit which I have been to before. Awaiting EEG results and someone to have a more thorough look at MRI. I long to feel well again. Blessings to you all

[@PsychExplained]

I wish you a speedy recovery!

Just like you I have temporal lobe epilepsy and I had surgery where they removed 75% of my right temporal lobe and it reduced my seizures to the lowest in my life. If you are interested check out the epilepsy forum called "Coping With Epilepsy" It's great!

[@suzanneporter7907]

I had a right temporal lobectomy and 75% of the right temporal lobe was removed and all of the right hippocampus. This was done to reduce my epileptic seizures and it did wonders but since then I will often look at a person but I can't remember their name but they look familar to me. The hippocampus was removed because it became hard and shrunk from so many yrs. of seizures. I had the surgery done back in 1994.

My right temprol lobe was remove and I have a hard time recognizing people Does this make sense.

[@PsychExplained]

Definitely. The temporal lobe plays a prominent role in identifying objects, faces, etc. Look up a structure called the “Fusiform Gyrus”

My step-daughter fell off a golf cart. She hit her head on the concrete and has suffered TBI. She is in ICU, stable but critical condition. We are to the point where they were able to remove the bolt yesterday in order to have an MRI done. What we do know from out of the gate is that the left skull over the temporal lobe is fractured. A subdural hematoma formed on the opposite side. Of course, this is all minute by minute. There has also been diffuse bleeding in her brain subarachnoid in addition to subdural. What can an MRI tell us in terms of recovery?

[@PsychExplained]

I am so sorry to hear about your step-daughter. Only her doctors can truly answer this question. I wish her a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

could chronic deja vu and strange delusions indicate a problem with the temporal lobe? for the past year and a half it's felt like I've done everything before, accompanied most of the time by false memories that tend to be pretty strange. It's almost like my inner monologue/thoughts are a runaway train where this crazy "narrative" that I can't control keeps building on itself. difficult to explain.

[@heatherwolmarans8287]

Definately could be. I finally got diagnosed because I went to a psychiatrist because I literally thought I was going insane, weird set of symptoms, but no "seizures".

Hello Doctor this is very interesting. My son has epilepsy and had Right temporal lobectomy Surgery 3 years ago. He has not had a seizure since. He is developing severe anxiety and obsessive thinking. He has not been on any medication for 2 years but we are going to follow up with physiciatrist to calm his brain down from over thinking. He has facial recognition blindness. Is it common to need medication after lobectomy surgery? His was deep into the hypothalamus and amygdala ?

[@PsychExplained]

Hi Tara! Thanks for reaching out. I am an educator, not a medical doctor so I am not in a position to give medical advise. I wish you and your son the very best.

[@aoifeosullivan9917]

That's interesting to hear. I have temporal lobe epilepsy on both sides. Rather than forgetting everyone's face, I feel like I recognise everyone from somewhere. Strange how the brain works. I'd it's a good idea to ask the doctors about his overthinking alright.

[@heatherwolmarans8287]

I both don't recognise people I know if I see them out of context, and then also think I know complete strangers. Deveoped social anxiety before I was diagnosed.

Thanks. I have a question concerning Prosopagnosia: even after hearing the voice, the patient won't be able to recognize the person?

I would imagine you can recognize the person from auditory information. That part of the brain is not damaged.

Does the temporal lobe help with identifying objects through other senses? For example, does the somatosensory cortex also communicate with the temporal lobe to identify familiar/unfamiliar sensations?
