Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arcuate fasciculus is a bundle of axons that forms part of the superior longitudinal fasciculus. It connects Wernicke's area, which is involved in language comprehension, located in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus, to Broca's area, which is involved in speech production and is located in the posterior part of the frontal lobe. This connection is crucial for the coordination of speech comprehension and production.
