Broca's Area
A region in the left frontal lobe (typically), crucial for language production, speech articulation, and grammar processing.
Key Functions:
- Controls speech production and articulation.
- Involved in grammar and syntax processing.
- Damage to this area results in Broca's aphasia (non-fluent aphasia).
Interacting Systems & Components:
- Frontal Cortex (located in)
- Language (production and grammar)
- Wernicke's Area (interacts with for language comprehension)
- Cerebral Cortex (part of)
