According to the Wernicke-Geschwind model, the visual form of a read word is processed in the visual cortex and then sent to the angular gyrus, which translates it into a meaningful auditory code. The auditory code is then sent to Wernicke's area, where it is comprehended and assigned meaning. From there, the information is sent to Broca's area, which controls the motor movements necessary for speech, and then to the primary motor cortex for execution. The arcuate fasciculus is the white matter tract that connects Wernicke's area and Broca's area, allowing for communication between them.
