Document Summary

Wernicke geshwind model is the old model for language and is based on lesions (in those days, did not have imaging techniques). The parts that are involved include broca"s area, face, arcuate fasciculus, Wernicke"s area, 41, 42, 39, 19, 18, and 17. Current imaging techniques have allowed for elaboration and correction of this model. 2: what is the upshot of the various studies mentioned in class of brain areas activated during speech and comprehension? (you don"t have to know what exactly activates when you talk about tools, animals etc. ) Confirmation roles of classical anterior and posterior speech zones, but also many other regions. Broca"s not just cortical representation (motor pattern) of speech and movements some meaning. Language also engages areas that normally do more primary functions. Aphasia is a disorder of language apparent in speech, writing, or reading produced by injury to brain areas specialized for these functions.
