GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Before such commands can be sent, the speaker must momentarily activate knowledge about the sequence of consonant and vowel speech sounds (phonemes) that form the word to be spoken. This mental stage prior to articulation is known as phonologic retrieval.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wernicke’s area is a critical language area in the posterior superior temporal lobe connects to Broca’s area via a neural pathway. Wernicke’s area is primarily involved in the comprehension. Historically, this area has been associated with language processing, whether it is written or spoken.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wernicke area, region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech. This area was first described in 1874 by German neurologist Carl Wernicke. The Wernicke area is located in the posterior third of the upper temporal convolution of the left hemisphere of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Recap. Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area are two areas of the brain that play a part in language. Broca’s area is associated with language production, while Wernicke’s area is associated with language comprehension.

Detailed explanation-5: -In general, the left hemisphere or side of the brain is responsible for language and speech. Because of this, it has been called the “dominant” hemisphere. The right hemisphere plays a large part in interpreting visual information and spatial processing.
