Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke's research both supported the idea of localization of function in the brain, meaning that specific areas of the brain are responsible for specific functions. Broca's work on patients with language deficits due to damage in a particular area of the brain (now known as Broca's area) and Wernicke's work on patients with language comprehension deficits due to damage in a different area (now known as Wernicke's area) provided early evidence for this concept.
