Temporal lobe
The temporal lobes are part of the cerebrum. They lie at the sides of the brain, beneath the lateral or Sylvian fissure. Seen in profile, the human brain looks something like a boxing glove. The temporal lobes are where the thumbs would be.

Behind (posterior to) the temporal lobes is the occipital lobe, where visual information first reaches the cortex. Above and to the rear are the parietal lobes. The temporal lobes enclose the hippocampi and amygdalae.
