Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shaded areas on the drawing correspond to the medial temporal lobes, which house several important structures including the hippocampi and amygdalae. The striatum is located more centrally in the brain, while the medial parietal lobes are located superior (above) the lobes shown in this drawing.
