Side brain regions {temporal lobe}| can receive information about features, orientations, balance, and sound and have speech-recognition systems. Inside area is for short-term memory, affective memory, and association.
input
Middle-temporal-lobe V5 area detects pattern directions and speed gradients. Medial superior temporal lobe dorsal area detects heading. V2 and V4 areas detect non-luminance-contour orientations. V4 area detects curved boundary fragments. Inferotemporal lobe (IT) detects shape parts. IT and CIP detect curvature and orientation in depth from disparity.
output
Temporal lobe sends to limbic system.
damage
Temporal-lobe lesions can cause the feeling that one has previously witnessed a new situation. Temporal lobe removal decreases pattern discrimination, color vision, fear reactions, learning sets, and retention. Temporal lobe electrical stimulation causes fear, sadness, or loneliness. Removing both temporal lobes makes monkeys fail to recognize objects, be hypersexual, exhibit compulsive oral behavior, not be afraid of things that used to cause fear, and be less aggressive {Klüver-Bucy syndrome, monkey} [Klüver, 1933].
