Wernicke's Area
Discovered in 1874 by Carl Wernicke, a German neurologist, Wernicke’s area is one of the two main areas in the Cerebral Cortex that is responsible for speech. As many people are left-hemisphere dominant, Wernicke’s Area is often found on the left side, but in those that are right-hemisphere dominant, the Wernicke’s Area may be found on the right side of the brain. In this fast-facts episode, Edward reviews the Wernicke's Area's form and function, as well as the key features that make us who we are.
To create this episode, I used information provided by Javed, et al., 2021 in StatPearls, through NCBI Bookshelf, which can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK533001/
