The temporal lobe has three functionally distinct areas which have minimal interconnections within the lobe, but extensive connections with other parts of the brain. The superior temporal gyrus contains primary and association auditory areas. Inferotemporal cortex is exclusively a visual association area. The temporal pole is involved in social behavior. In addition, the superior temporal sulcus functions as a sensory integration area. From a review of the literature, a schema is proposed for organizing the reciprocal connections of the three functional areas into a series of loops which follow both cortical and subcortical routes. The afferent and efferent connections of the temporal lobe, phylogenesis, and deficits from lesions are discussed.
颞叶有三个功能不同的区域，这些区域在叶内的相互连接极少，但与大脑其他部分有广泛的连接。颞上回包含初级听觉区和听觉联合区。颞下回皮质完全是一个视觉联合区。颞极参与社会行为。此外，颞上沟作为一个感觉整合区发挥作用。通过对文献的回顾，提出了一个将这三个功能区域的相互连接组织成一系列遵循皮质和皮质下路径的环路的模式。讨论了颞叶的传入和传出连接、种系发生以及病变导致的缺陷。
