Description
The Temporal Lobe, Volume 187 covers the exponential growth of studies on the relationships between brain and language/cognition, many of which involved the temporal lobe. This volume summarizes research on the anatomy and function of the temporal lobe under both normal and pathological conditions. In addition, it discusses the interactions of the temporal lobe with other brain structures. The book highlights the role of the temporal lobe in language processing as well as vision, object, face recognition and processing. The book also discusses the temporal lobe's role in reading, speech and the processing of color, music, action and memory.
Temporal lobe disorders, assessments and treatments are also covered, including encephalitis, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Korsakov's syndrome, and more.

Persons
Gabriele Miceli MD is senior professor of neurology at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento (also seconded to the Accademia dei Lincei, Rome, for the period 2018-2021). He leads the team "Cognitive Neuroscience of Language?. His clinical and research work focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of language. He is a member of the Editorial Board of Brain and Language and Cognitive Neuropsychology, and of the Advisory board of the Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris and of the Institut de Mondor de Recherche Biomedicale, Creteil. Paolo Bartolomeo, MD PhD is a neurologist and research director at the French biomedical research institute (Inserm). He leads the team "Physiological Investigations of Clinically Normal and Impaired Cognition? at the Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) in Paris, France. He has developed extensive work in the field of cognitive neuroscience, in particular on human attention and perception, and on their deficits after brain damage. He is action editor for the journal Cortex. Vincent Navarro, MD, PhD is full professor of neurology at Sorbonne Universite. He leads the epilepsy Unit and the EEG laboratory, in the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, in Paris, France. He leads the Center of Reference for Rare Epilepsies for adults in Paris.
He is co-director of the team "Dynamics of epileptic networks and neuronal excitability?, in the Paris Brain Institute. His clinical and research works focus on pathophysiology of focal epilepsies-based on in vivo and in vitro electrophysiological recordings-, on status epilepticus and autoimmune epilepsies.
