  • Cranial Bones

    • The temporal bones are situated at the base and sides of the skull, lateral to the temporal lobes of the brain.
    • The temporal bones consist of four regions the squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic regions.
    • The squamosal suture separates the parietal bone and squama portion of temporal bone.
    • The sphenosquamosal suture separates the sphenoid bone and squama portion of temporal bone.
    • Finally, the squamosal suture separates the parietal and temporal bones.

  • Cerebral Lobes

    • The cortex is divided into four main lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal.
    • The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception such as hearing and holds the primary auditory cortex.
    • The superior temporal gyrus includes an area where auditory signals from the ear first reach the cerebral cortex and are processed by the primary auditory cortex in the left temporal lobe.
    • The four lobes (frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal) of the human brain are depicted along with the cerebellum.
    • Distinguish between the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes of the cerebral cortex

  • Temporal Classification

    • Re-measurement requires the application of the temporal method.
    • By using the temporal method, any income-generating assets like inventory, property, plant, and equipment are regularly updated to reflect their market values.
    • Identify when it would be necessary to use the temporal method on the balance sheet

  • Temporal Motivation Theory

    • Temporal motivation theory emphasizes the impact of time and deadlines on our motivation to complete tasks.
    • Temporal motivation theory (TMT) is an integrative motivational theory developed by Piers Steel and Cornelius J.
    • Temporal motivation theory argues that motivation is heavily influenced by time.
    • Explain the relationship among expectation, value, impulsiveness, and delay according to temporal motivation theory

  • Performed individually

    • Subjective stimuli: Observations about an individual's surrounding environment and nature made by the individual, as well as more affective and temporal judgments about things not really seen but that are definitely felt.

  • Evolution of Amniotes

    • The key differences between the synapsids, anapsids, and diapsids are the structures of the skull and the number of temporal fenestrae behind each eye .
    • Temporal fenestrae are post-orbital openings in the skull that allow muscles to expand and lengthen.
    • Anapsids have no temporal fenestrae, synapsids have one, and diapsids have two.
    • The image illustrates the differences in the skulls and temporal fenestrae of anapsids, synapsids, and diapsids.

  • Cerebral Hemispheres and Lobes of the Brain

    • The brain is separated into four lobes: the frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes.
    • The temporal lobe is associated with the retention of short- and long-term memories.
    • The temporal lobe contains the hippocampus, which is the memory center of the brain.
    • The left temporal lobe holds the primary auditory cortex, which is important for processing the semantics of speech.
    • One specific portion of the temporal lobe, Wernicke's area, plays a key role in speech comprehension.

  • Signal Summation

    • Summation, either spatial or temporal, is the addition of these impulses at the axon hillock .
    • Temporal summation means that the effects of impulses received at the same place can add up if the impulses are received in close temporal succession.

  • Human Language and the Brain

    • The primary auditory cortex, located in the temporal lobe and connected to the auditory system, is organized so that it responds to neighboring frequencies in the other cells of the cortex.
    • The areas of the brain necessary for processing language: Broca's area, Wernicke's area, the primary motor cortex, the posterior middle temporal gyrus, and the middle and posterior superior temporal gyrus.

  • Postsynaptic Potentials and Their Integration at the Synapse

    • Postsynaptic potentials are subject to spatial and temporal summation.
    • This figure depicts the mechanism of temporal summation in which multiple action potentials in the presynaptic cell cause a threshold depolarization in the postsynaptic cell.
