Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobe is located in the lower part of the cerebral hemispheres:
• Inferior to the frontal lobe and parietal lobe.
The temporal lobe is separated from the frontal lobe by the lateral sulcus (or Sylvian fissure).
• Anterior to the occipital lobe.
The temporal lobe is virtually continuous with the occipital lobe.
