[The remarkable symptoms of the temporal lobe dysfunction]

From all the cerebral regions, except the orbito-frontal area of the frontal lobe, especially on the right hemisphere, the temporal lobe is the best connected region of the cerebral cortex with the limbic system. The disorders of the temporal lobe produce symptoms which affect many behaviors, like sexuality, visual perceptions, recognizing familiar faces, perception of emotional expressions, and even religious beliefs. They can also affect personal relationships, the perception of the "ego", with depersonalization and derealization phenomena; in short, behaviors which are essential to the human being.
