Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in explaining gaps in our understanding of human brain function. The study provides a picture of language processing in the brain with unprecedented ...

What is happening in the brain of an actor reciting Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy or of the person next to you at lunch saying, "Please pass the salt"? For 150 years, scientists have known ...

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 hierarchies ...

The brain is made up of numerous types of cells that are organized into different structures and regions. Although several important steps have been made towards building models of the human brain, ...

The fact that many people recover their speech within months of being diagnosed with Broca’s Aphasia is a testament to the recovery powers of the brain. Aphasia is the loss of the ability 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 music.

For over 150 years, neuroscientists have known that a small region in the left frontal lobe—Broca's area—plays a crucial role in speech production. Named after French physician Paul Broca, who ...

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.” They may also speak in ...
