Damage to Broca's area and Wernicke's area of the brain can cause?
Damage to Broca's area causes an expressive aphasia, whereas damage to Wernicke's area causes a receptive (although illogcally sounding fluent) aphasia.
What tissue functions in sensing and communication?
Not sure about sensing, but for communication, the "Broca's area" of the brain is in charge of your speech, and the "Wernicke's area" of the brain is in charge of understanding written and spoken language.
When neurons in wernicke's area send impulses to neurons in broca's area the white matter tracts utilized are?
projection fibers
Which brain area is primarily involved with reading aloud?
First it will go to your visual cortex, then to the Angular gyrus where the visual words are transformed into an auditory code, then to Wernicke's area which interprets the code, and then it will go to Broca's area where speech muscles are controled through the motor cortex. So the answer to the test question you obviously didn't study for is: Visual Cortex, Angular gyrus, Wernicke's area, Broca's area and the Motor Cortex. I'm only helping because I'm a dirty cheater too. Good luck!
What is a specialized motor speech area located at the base of the of the precentral gyrus called?
No, the motor speech area is called Broca's area.
What is the function of the broca's and wernicke's areas?
Broca's area is responsible for speech production and language processing, while Wernicke's area is involved in language comprehension and understanding. Together, they play a crucial role in language processing and communication.
What areas of the brain are associated with language learning?
Broca's area in the frontal lobe and Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe.
Which best describes how the brain processes language?
Wernicke's area is involved in hearing; Broca's area is used for speech.
What Percentage of people have both broca's and wernicke's areas in their left hemisphere?
Approximately 95% of right-handed individuals and 70% of left-handed individuals have both Broca's and Wernicke's areas located in their left hemisphere.
Where is language localized in the human brain?
There seem to be two main areas where language functions are processed in the brain, Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area.
Damage to the broca's area and wernicke's area of the brain can cause?
Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia, respectively. Follow the link below for more details. -----The person might have difficulty finding the words to describe an event.
Damage to Broca's area and Wernicke's area of the brain can cause?
Damage to Broca's area causes an expressive aphasia, whereas damage to Wernicke's area causes a receptive (although illogcally sounding fluent) aphasia.

What part of the brain would a lesion most likely result in aphasia?
Broca's or Wernicke's area. --Allison
The left hemisphere of the brain is primarily responsible for?
The left hemisphere of the brain contains the centers for logic and reasoning. It also contains language and math. Broca's area and Wernicke's area are on the left hemisphere.
What part of the brain is damaged if someone cannot name something in their left visual field?
Broca's or Wernicke's area.
Broca's area is in the brain's frontal lobe Wernicke's area is in the temporal lobe What do these areas help you do?
Hold a conversation
