Detailed explanation-1: -Broca’s area is a key component of a complex speech network, interacting with the flow of sensory information from the temporal cortex, devising a plan for speaking and passing that plan along to the motor cortex, which controls the movements of the mouth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Broca’s area, located in the left hemisphere, is associated with speech production and articulation. Our ability to articulate ideas, as well as use words accurately in spoken and written language, has been attributed to this crucial area.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wernicke’s aphasia causes you to speak in a jumbled “word salad” that others can’t understand. Broca’s aphasia leaves you with limited language. You might only be able to say single words or very short sentences. But others can usually understand what you mean.
Detailed explanation-4: -Loss of fluency. People with Broca’s aphasia struggle to form words. They may repeat words or simple phrases over and over (but struggle to or can’t repeat back something you say to them). People with the most severe cases can’t make any sounds (mutism) or can only make a single sound at a time.
