Week 9.1: Language, the Brain, and Aphasia

In this week's lecture we take a look at how language is localised in the human brain. We'll explore some of the basic anatomy and methods for localisation, learning about the two most important areas for language in the left hemisphere: Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area. We then discuss language disorders associated with damage to the brain, including Broca's and Wernicke's Aphasia, as well as a brief look at Conduction and Anomic Aphasia.
