	Receptive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Broca's aphasia, the area typically lost is highlighted in blue.
		Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuropsychology, is a type of aphasia often (but not always) caused by neurological damage to Wernicke's area in the brain (Brodman Area 22, in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus of the dominant hemisphere).
		Patients who recover from Wernicke's aphasia report that while aphasic they found the speech of others to be unintelligible, and even though they knew they were speaking, they could neither stop themselves nor understand what they had just said.

		In Wernicke aphasia, neighborhood signs include a superior quadrantanopsia due to involvement of optic radiations, limb apraxia due to involvement of the inferior parietal lobule or its connections to the premotor cortices, finger agnosia, acalculia, or alexia with agraphia (components of the Gerstmann syndrome) due to involvement of the angular gyrus.
		Pulvinar strokes causing aphasia are exceedingly rare because of the vascular anatomy of the thalamus.
		Aphasia is diagnosed on the basis of localization (involvement of the left hemisphere or thalamus); therefore, careful, thorough mental-state examination is essential.
