REVISITING BRAIN MECHANISMS IN LANGUAGE PROCESSING: FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BROCA’S AND WERNICKE’S AREA

E-ISSN: 9552-2692

P-ISSN: 2395-6590

Due to the great contribution of the classical model to the confirmation of functional specialization of different parts within the brain, Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area were revisited in the second and third sections respectively. In these two sections, there is a summary of the foundation and location, followed by the function part. At the end of these two sections, the connections between these two areas and other areas of the brain are also mentioned. Then there is a discussion of research on the role of brain mechanisms in language processing by scholars of different eras, including the updated model of ventral and dorsal streams.
