Detailed explanation-1: -Damage to a discrete part of the brain in the left frontal lobe (Broca’s area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect the use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expressive aphasia is an impairment of the ability to use and express language. This is caused by damage to Broca’s area, so the condition is sometimes referred to as Broca’s aphasia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Primary progressive aphasia is caused by a shrinking of certain areas of the brain, known as lobes. In this case, the frontal, temporal or parietal lobes are affected. When areas of the brain shrink, it’s called atrophy. The atrophy caused by primary progressive aphasia mainly occurs on the left side of the brain.
