Morally, salient scenarios evoked stronger empathic sadness in young participants and were associated with enhanced activity in the amygdala, insula, and temporal poles.

Activation levels in the right anterior temporal pole were selectively increased and is believed to serve as a binding function of emotional information across domains such as visual and linguistic information.
13.
Both ventral and dorsal visual streams share connections with orbitofrontal cortical areas, including rich projections to and from the superior temporal pole, important for integration of spatial and object processing.
14.
Second, fMRI studies of theory of mind typically report activation in the mPFC, temporal poles and TPJ or STS, but these brain areas are not part of the mirror neuron system.
15.
They aid in the activation of the regions that are associated with the ToM . The superior temporal sulcus is involved in the processing of behavioural information while the temporal poles are involved in the retrieval of personal experiences.
16.
The "'collateral fissure "'( or "'sulcus "') is on the tentorial surface of the hemisphere and extends from near the occipital pole to within a short distance of the temporal pole.
17.
Automatic stimuli are processed in the amygdala and dorsal MPFC, whereas controlled stimuli are processed in the temporal pole and ventral MPFC . Compared to younger adults, older adults showed less amygdala activation and more MPFC activation for negative than positive pictures.

In one PET study, areas found to be involved in associative semantic processing include the left anterior superior / middle temporal gyrus and the left temporal pole comparative to structural and colour information, as well as the right temporal pole comparative to colour decision tasks only.

According to the neuroscience journal review series " Progress in Brain Research ", it has been found that males have larger and longer planum temporale and midsagitta l & fiber numbers in the anterior commissure that connect the temporal poles and mass intermedia that connects the thalami is also larger in women.
