The lingual gyrus is a brain structure that is linked to processing vision especially related to letters. It is thought to also play a role in analysis of logical conditions (ie logical order of events) and encoding visual memories. The lingual gyrus is named after the shape it most closely resembles – the tongue. Contrary to the name the region has little to do with speech.
