Temporal and Limbic Cortex
• Hippocampus – declarative memory.
• Amygdala – emotional processing and fear (not
really cortex, but deep in the temporal lobe).
• Rhinal cortex – associating motivational value to
visual objects.
• Temporal neocortex is mostly unimodal –
auditory and visual.
• Wernicke’s area for expressive aphasia lies at
the border of the temporal and parietal lobes.
