Broca’s area – speech production. Broca’s aphasia = lack fluency. LEFT.
Motor area – controls voluntary movement on opposite side of body.
Temporal lobe:
Wernicke’s area – language comprehension. Aphasia = speech nonsensical and
lacks meaning. LEFT TEMPORAL LOBE.
Auditory area – processes speech based info
Parietal lobe: somatosensory area – receives and processes sensory info
Occipital lobe: visual area – processes info from the RVF to the left visual area
