GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -New research shows that Broca’s area, located in the frontal cortex and shown here in color, plans the process of speech by interacting with the temporal cortex, where sensory information is processed, and the motor cortex, which controls movements of the mouth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The frontal lobe includes the primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex Broca’s area, and prefrontal cortex. Broca’s area was originally defined as an area important for speech.

Detailed explanation-3: -This area, located in the frontal part of the left hemisphere of the brain, was discovered in 1861 by French surgeon Paul Broca, who found that it serves a vital role in the generation of articulate speech.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to language production, it is now recognized that Broca’s area plays an important role in language comprehension. Broca’s area is also believed to be involved in movement and action, and has been found to be active during planning movement, imitating movement, and understanding another’s movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas are cortical areas specialized for production and comprehension, respectively, of human language. Broca’s area is found in the left inferior frontal gyrus and Wernicke’s area is located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.
