MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Temporal Lobe is located on each side of the head above the ears. It controls hearing and is the region responsible for smell, taste and short-term memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temporal lobe You have two temporal lobes, one behind each ear. They receive messages from the ears so that you can recognise sound and messages. This part of the brain also recognises speech and is how you understand what someone says to you. It also helps your sense of smell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The temporal lobes contain several areas known to be involved in olfactory processing, including the piriform cortex, which is located at the frontotemporal junction, the entorhinal cortex, the periamygdaloid cortex, and anterior cortical nucleus of the amygdala (Eslinger et al. 1982; West and Doty 1995; Savic 2001).
