Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to Broca's area in the frontal lobe results in difficulty in speaking, known as Broca's aphasia. This region is responsible for the production of speech, including the formation and coordination of the muscles involved in speech production. Difficulties in understanding speech (known as Wernicke's aphasia), lip reading, and determining phonetic boundaries are associated with damage to other areas of the brain.
