Re: front temporal lobes - keely and darla

[Guest guest]

When Wyatt was 10 days old they did an MRI on him and the

radiologist read it as if Wyatt's front temporal lobes did not

develop completely. The doc's told us that in the best case

scenario he would be learning disabled, worst case scenario he would

never know his name or anything else. It wouldn't matter if you

told him 100 times but he would never ever remember because the

temporal lobes deal with short term memory and if you can not store

anything in short term memory than you are unable to have long term

memory. Fortunatly this diagnosis turned out to be wrong, one of

many wrong diagnosis. Hope this helps some. Also a general

psychology book should tell you what each part of the brain does. I

teach Adv. Psychology to my high school students and I am 99% sure

that the book the Intro to Psychology class uses goes over each part

of the brain and what it's function is.
