temporal lobe in dogs

Lower lateral part of the cerebral hemisphere. (MSH). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the temporal lobe is

Lower lateral part of the cerebral hemisphere. (MSH). The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the temporal lobe is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the temporal lobe connects to

The atlas records 19 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of cerebral hemisphere and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the temporal lobe. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as lobus temporalis and temporal cortex. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the temporal lobe?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the temporal lobe connect to?

Part of: cerebral hemisphere and organ.

Is the temporal lobe the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
