For 150 years, scientists have known that a brain region called Broca's area plays a key role in speech production, but exactly what it does and how it does it have been a mystery. Now ...

Later dubbed Broca's area, this region is believed to be critical for speech production and some aspects of language comprehension. However, in recent years neuroscientists have observed activity ...

Broca’s aphasia results from damage to a part of the brain called Broca’s area, which is located in the frontal lobe, usually on the left side. It’s one of the parts of the brain responsible ...

As the frontal lobe came into view, there it was: a big black spot sitting in the left posterior inferior frontal lobe, also known as Broca's area. On slice after slice, the same black hole ...

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. Broca's area for Expressive ...

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 ...

And three very different kinds of processing needed for speech are all happening in a small part of the brain called Broca's area, which lies beneath the left temple. The area of the brain is ...

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.

Broca’s aphasia causes difficulty with spontaneous, fluent speech. People with this condition typically leave out linking words in sentences, such as “and,” “on,” or “but.” ...

But the part of your brain that controls motor skills sits close to the Broca's area. So, a stroke or brain injury may cause nerve damage that leads to weakness and affects movement, especially on ...
