Broca's area is responsible for speech production and damage to this area can result in motor or expressive aphasia, which is a condition where individuals have difficulty in expressing themselves through language, but they are able to understand it. Wernicke's area is responsible for language comprehension, and damage to this area can cause receptive or sensory aphasia. The corpus callosum is responsible for communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain and damage to this area can cause deficits in information transfer. The somatosensory cortex is responsible for processing tactile information and damage to this area can cause sensory deficits.
