Temporal Lobe

The temporal lobe is located in the lower part of the cerebral hemispheres:
Inferior to the frontal lobe and parietal lobe.
The temporal lobe is separated from the frontal lobe by the lateral sulcus (or Sylvian fissure).
Anterior to the occipital lobe.
The temporal lobe is virtually continuous with the occipital lobe.
