Detailed explanation-1: -After Mr. Leborgne passed away (April 17th, 1861), Paul Broca did a post mortem examination and he concluded that a lesion in the posterior part of the third and possibility the second frontal gyrus in the left hemisphere, that was as big as a chicken’s egg, caused the speech problems.
Detailed explanation-2: -A postmortem is a process where a team reflects on a problem-for example, an unexpected loss of redundancy, or perhaps a failed software deployment-and documents what the problem was and how to avoid it in the future.
Detailed explanation-3: -A post-mortem examination is when researchers study the physical brain of a person who displayed a particular behaviour while they were alive that suggested possible brain damage. An example of this technique is the work of Broca, who examined the brain of a man who displayed speech problems when he was alive.
Detailed explanation-4: -However, a post-mortem examination is another possible approach. (fMRI) is a brain-scanning technique that measures blood flow in the brain when a person performs a task. fMRI works on the premise that neurons in the brain that are the most active during a task use the most energy.
