Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. Broca’s area, which controls speaking ability, and Wernicke’s area, which controls word selection and understanding, are commonly affected by aphasia.

Detailed explanation-3: -A right brain stroke happens when blood supply to the right side of the brain is stopped. The right side of the brain is in charge of the left side of the body. It also does some thought processing, help us know body position, and judge space and distance. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic .

Detailed explanation-4: -See a doctor right away if you have slurred speech and other serious symptoms, such as numbness or weakness on one side of your body; a change in the level of consciousness or alertness, such as fainting or unresponsiveness; or the worst headache of your life, because they could be a sign of a stroke.
