A study conducted at Johns Hopkins using recordings from the brain surface shows Broca's area is active early in the process of forming sentences and ends its work before a word is spoken ...

Expressive language, in the form of grammatically correct and meaningful speech, is processed by Broca’s area and the damage to this area leads to Broca’s aphasia.

The findings debunk the long-standing assumption that Broca’s area—which is commonly linked to language production—serves a completely distinct purpose from Wernicke’s area—the region ...

New Light On Nature Of Broca's Area: Rare Procedure Documents How Human Brain Computes Language Date: October 16, 2009 Source: University of California - San Diego Summary: Researchers have made a ...

Since its discovery in the 1860’s, Broca’s area has been assumed to be the region of the brain responsible for human speech with responsibilities ranging from language comprehension to ...

Broca's area, restricted to the left hemisphere, is centrally involved in language processing. The equivalent area, in the right hemisphere (red), plays a similar role but for the processing of ...

Broca looked at other patients with the same condition (known as aphasia), and found that they too suffered damage in the same area–what came to be known as “Broca’s area.” ...

Researchers have discovered that Broca's area in the brain -- best known as the region that evolved to manage speech production -- is a major "executive" center in the brain for organizing ...

Broca's area, restricted to the left hemisphere, is centrally involved in language processing. The equivalent area, in the right hemisphere (red), plays a similar role but for the processing of music.

Human brain with Broca's area highlighted in yellow. The patient is the man whose autopsied brain was used by 19 th-century French surgeon Pierre Broca to identify a particular area of the left ...
