Damage to specific regions of the cerebral cortex, such as through a stroke, can result in specific losses of function. What functions would likely be lost by a stroke in the temporal lobe?
Assertion: Person fails to hear by destroying temporal lobe. Reason: Temporal lobe having auditory area.
A series of strokes has damaged regions of Mr. Thornberg's temporal lobes. He can still clearly hear what others are saying, but he now has trouble comprehending spoken language.
