auditory association area
The association centers for hearing are located in the temporal lobe, specifically in an area called the auditory cortex. The association centers for smelling, on the other hand, are located in the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex, which are part of the frontal and temporal lobes.
The association area in the temporal lobe processes and integrates information from different sensory modalities, memory, language, and emotions. It plays a crucial role in higher cognitive functions such as perception, comprehension, and decision-making.
The junction of the parietal, temporal, and occipital association areas is known as the parieto-temporo-occipital (PTO) junction. This region plays a crucial role in integrating sensory information from different modalities and is involved in complex cognitive functions such as visual perception and spatial awareness. Dysfunction in this area can lead to disorders affecting perception, attention, and spatial cognition.

The functions can be varying depending on the specific region of the temporal lobe. One well known function is language comprehension in Wernicke's area (Brodmann areas 44 and 45). The temporal lobe also houses the primary auditory cortex, is involved in memory, and object recognition among other functions.
The primary visual area is located in the occipital lobe at the back of the brain, specifically in the region known as the calcarine sulcus. The visual association area is adjacent to the primary visual area and encompasses regions in the occipital, temporal, and parietal lobes involved in further processing visual information for perception and recognition.

Conscious thought is a function of the cerebral cortex of the brain. The more specific task of language is shared with all of the lobes of the cortex, but mainly the left frontal lobe is responsible for language production in an area called the Broca's area. ANd, language interpretion occurs in the Wernicke's area in the left temporal lobe.
It is an area of damage and can not be repaired. There are usually problems with this sort of damage. Sometimes there are "work arounds" that take time and some function can be taken over by other parts of the brain.
