Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temporal lobe is involved in language comprehension, so neurosurgery in this area carries a risk of impairing language function. The other options (producing tinnitus, amusia, or ageusia) are also possible risks of temporal lobe surgery, but they are not as directly related to the function of this brain region.
