A number of previous studies have indicated that Broca's area has an important role in
understanding and producing syntactically complex sentences and other language …

Just about one and one-half centuries ago, Paul Broca identified the posterior third left
frontal convolution of the human brain as a critical area for speech production. Although …

Processing and producing language is a complex process, with several structures within the
brain all playing a vital role. The French physician and anatomist, Pierre Paul Broca, may …

We evaluated sentence comprehension of variety of sentence constructions and
components of short-term memory (STM) in 53 individuals with acute ischemic stroke, to test …

Although his paper was only published in 1865 (nearly 30 years after his death), it was Dr.
Marc Dax who first associated language functions with the left hemisphere. In 1800, Dax had …

Broca's area and Wernicke's area are two cortical regions originally defined in patients with
brain lesions. These areas are thought to be essential for language functions. Although …

Traditionally it has been assumed that language production is controlled by Broca's area,
corresponding to Brodmann's area (BA) 44 (pars opercularis of the left hemisphere)(eg …

Broca's area in the posterior half of the left inferior frontal gyrus has traditionally been
considered an important node in the speech production network. Nevertheless, recovery of …

For over a century neuroscientists have debated the dynamics by which human cortical
language networks allow words to be spoken. Although it is widely accepted that Broca's …

Identifying cortical areas for language and speech processing is a prerequisite for cognitive
neuroscience and clinical research. Although Broca's region is one of the essential nodes in …
