Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Broca's area is located in the left frontal lobe and is responsible for speech production and language processing. Damage to this area can result in a type of aphasia called Broca's aphasia, which causes difficulty with language production but not comprehension. Gall's area and Korsakoff's area are not associated with language processing, and Wernicke's area is involved in language comprehension rather than production.
