Theories of human cognition prominently feature'Broca's area', which causally contributes to
a myriad of mental functions. However, Broca's area is not a monolithic, multipurpose unit–it …

Despite the presence of shared characteristics across the different domains modulating
Broca's area activity (eg, structural analogies, as between language and music, or …

A long‐standing pursuit in cognitive neuropsychology has been to understand the role of
Broca's area in language processing. Although a prevailing view has been to equate this …

Identifying cortical areas for language and speech processing is a prerequisite for cognitive
neuroscience and clinical research. Although Broca's region is one of the essential nodes in …

Cytoarchitectonic area 44 of Broca's region in the left inferior frontal gyrus is known to be
involved in several functional domains including language, action and music processing …

Summary In 1861, Paul Broca stood up before the Anthropological Society of Paris and
announced that the left frontal lobe was the seat of speech. Ever since, Broca's eponymous …

This chapter provides a synthetic review of a long-term effort to produce an internally
consistent theory of the neural basis of human cognition, the Leabra cognitive architecture …

Highlights•More brain regions than Broca's and Wernicke's area are crucial for
language.•Neural infrastructure is shared between language production and …

Through its early history, cognitive neuroscience largely followed a modular paradigm
wherein high-level cognitive functions were mapped onto locally segregated brain regions …

There has been a historical tension between theories of brain function emphasizing regional
specialization and those focusing on integration across regions. This tension continues …
