The region of the left prefrontal cortex responsible for the generation of words that are to be attached to internal experiences, allowing one to translate ersonal experiences into communicable language.
A brain area in the frontal lobe crucial for language production. See also aphasia.
The part of the brain ( see Appendix 1) responsible for the production of speech.
the region of the frontal lobe responsible for the production of speech. 88
Region of the frontal lobe of the dominant cortical hemisphere for language, where damage produces deficits in production of speech (expressive aphasia). Broca's area is located just anterior to the portion of the primary motor cortex that controls the muscles of the mouth and tongue.
motor area of the brain in the frontal lobe; translates thoughts into speech; also called the motor speech area
The left frontal region of the brain that is crucial to the production of language. go to glossary index
Part of the brain responsible for language. It can be seen in fossils by a bulge in the skull in that particular area.
The area of the brain coordinating the speech organs for the actual production of language.
The area of the brain in which many scientists think that language is encoded.
The speech center of the brain, normally located on the neural cortex of the left cerebral hemisphere.
Well-defined area in the brain (posterior third of the inferior frontal gyrus). Usually in the left (language) hemisphere. Lesions in this area tend to affect production of grammatical language, rather than language comprehension. Contrasted with Wernicke's area.
the motor speech center in the left hemisphere of the brain in most people
an area of the left brain hemisphere that is associated with motor aspects of speech.
An area located in the frontal lobe of the left cerebral hemisphere that is involved in language production.
The area of cortex (in the posterior part of the left inferior frontal gyrus) which, when damaged, results in an aphasia characterized by an impairment in speech production, while language comprehension is relatively intact.
The brain region located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere that is important for the production of speech.
an area in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere that is important for speech and language
Region of the frontal lobe on left, that makes spoken language possible.
Controls speech
Pars triangularis (area 44) and pars anterior (area 45) of the frontal operculum, involved in generating speech ( Ch. 27).
Portion of the cerebral cortex that controls expressive language.
Broca's area is the section of the human brain (in the opercular and triangular sections of the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe of the cortex) that is involved in language processing, speech production and comprehension. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are found unilaterally in the brain.
