A new study from UC San Francisco challenges the traditional view of how the brain strings sounds together to form words and ...

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 ...

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.” ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The experiment has yielded evidence that language processing takes place in a small part of Broca's area as a sequence of three different stages, each ending before the next one begins.
