A brain region in the frontal operculum, crucial for language production. It's located in the frontal lobe.

A brain area in the superior temporal gyrus that plays a vital role in language comprehension.

An acquired language disorder that affects speech, reading, writing (can impact production, comprehension or both).

A neural pathway connecting Broca's and Wernicke's areas, facilitating language repetition.

Brain areas directly involved in receiving sensory input (after the thalamus) or sending motor commands to the body.

Brain regions near primary areas that process sensory information further or refine motor commands.

Brain areas at the juncture of secondary areas; responsible for complex tasks like language and memory.

An older model for understanding language processing. It's helpful, but not the complete picture.

Generalized difficulty understanding, speaking or repeating words. Some automatic phrases might be OK.

Speech disorder due to muscle problems, not language issues.

Remembering facts and events consciously (e.g., your last birthday).

Trouble forming new memories after a certain point in time.

Different brain sides store different kinds of information (e.g., verbal vs. visual).

A type of aphasia characterized by difficulty understanding and repeating spoken language. Speech is fluent but often nonsensical, containing jargon, or using incorrect words (paraphasia).

A type of aphasia where there is difficulty producing language. Speech is slow, labored, and telegraphic. However, comprehension is relatively preserved, and the person is aware of their issues.

A mild form of aphasia, often a residual deficit. This involves a struggle to name objects or words. Speaks and understands fine, but may struggle with specific words.

A type of aphasia where speech production is relatively smooth and continuous, though it often lacks meaning or correct word usage.

A type of aphasia where speech production is slow, effortful, and often limited to short, fragmented phrases.

Difficulty understanding spoken or written language.

Difficulty producing comprehensible or meaningful language.

Can cause problems remembering visual/spatial information like faces, locations, or routes.

Control systems for behaviors in response to things inside or outside of you.

Can cause problems with social skills, personality changes, and motivation.

A test that measures how well someone can change their strategy when given new information.

Problems can come from damage to the frontal lobe itself or from parts of the brain that send signals to it. Examples include strokes, brain injuries, and diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
