It is also important for the processing of [[semantics]] (meaning) in both speech and [[Visual perception|vision]]. The temporal lobe contains the [[hippocampus]] and plays a key role in the formation of [[long-term memory]]. An area in the Sylvian fissure is the first place where auditory signals from the
