Functional representation in the temporal lobe of man

Note: / The particular form of epilepsy which often follows a focal lesion in the temporal lobe is characterized by various combinations of abnormal experience and unusual behaviour. The clinical significance of these subtle feelings, crude sensations and unusual actions has been known for some time. If we agree that focal lesions in the human temporal lobe may produce paroxysms characterized by subtle changes in perception, hallucinations and dreams, or unreasoning behaviour which is apparently automatic, it becomes obvious that this region must have important functional representations.
