Therefore, people with prosopagnosia have a problem with the fusiform gyrus. Bro(cid:272)a"s expressive aphasia- difficulty in stringing words together, telegraphic. Left- verbal (control of language, reading, logical thought) Right- nonverbal (space perception, form perception, synthesis, emotion) Results form damage (stroke) to right hemisphere (parietal and temporal lobes) Almost unheard of with damage to left hemisphere. Drawing a flower- only would draw the right side of the flower.
