What part of the brain is used for speech and memory?


Just wondering what part of the brain is used for speech and memory, as recently my memory has been bad (I find I am unable to cram for exam and remember everything for them)? My seizure start in my right temporal lobe? Does anyone know if this affects memory and speech?

Here's a pretty cool page describing brain functions by location. It also has a brain map at the bottom of the page.

Thanks bernard, it probably explains why my right temporal lobe seizures cause memory loss and speech problems and its nice to know whether its the drugs or illness which causes the side effects.

I had my brain mapped out and my memory is on my left side. I am basically left handed and left brained. That is why I had my rtl.

Hi! I was told that memory and speech is generated from the left temporal lobe. However in some of the studies they did, they noticed that some people who have seizures in their left temporal lobe,may use their right temporal lobe for memory and speech. I found out a couple weeks ago i was a candidate for surgery. I have seizures in my left temporal lobe and i'm participating in a study on Wednesday. The study is based on memory in epileptics compared to non-epileptics. It will make my decision alot easier because they will be able to determine where my memory is located. Good luck and take care!

Good Luck Mandy. I do hope this will help with your decision.

Neurofeedback is suppose to help with memory and speech. Too bad they are willing to try that first, before talking surgery. I know it is helping my daughter, her cognitive functions are improving with therapy.
