Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of the study is to assess historical anatomical and
functional definitions of Wernicke's area in light of modern lesion and neuroimaging data …

Over time, both the functional and anatomical boundaries ofWernicke's area'have become
so broad as to be meaningless. We have re-analysed four functional neuroimaging (PET) …

The term “Wernicke's area” is most often used as an anatomical label for the gyri forming the
lower posterior left sylvian fissure. Although traditionally this region was held to support …

Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by severe word and sentence comprehension
impairments. The location of the underlying lesion site, known as Wernicke's area, remains …

Broca's area and Wernicke's area are two cortical regions originally defined in patients with
brain lesions. These areas are thought to be essential for language functions. Although …

Objective To explore atrophy–deficit correlations of word comprehension and repetition in
temporoparietal cortices encompassing the Wernicke area, based on patients with primary …

Auditory word-form recognition was originally proposed by Wernicke to occur within left
superior temporal gyrus (STG), later further specified to be in posterior STG. To account for …

Objective Computation of a prearticulatory phonological representation (phonological
access, or phonological retrieval) is an essential process in speech production whose …

Textbooks dealing with the anatomical representation of language in the human brain
display two language-related zones, Broca's area and Wernicke's area, connected by a …

In most cases, aphasia is caused by strokes involving the left hemisphere, with more
extensive damage typically being associated with more severe aphasia. The classical model …
