Topic: Brodmann area 44


  
  Brodmann area 45 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brodmann area 45, or BA45, is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain.
Together with BA 44 it comprises Broca's area a region which is involved in speech production.
Cytoarchitectonically it is bounded caudally by the opercular area 44, rostrodorsally by the middle frontal area 46 and ventrally by the orbital area 47 (Brodmann-1909).

Brodmann Areas in the Human Brain with an Emphasis on Vision and Language
A Brodmann area is a region in the brain cortex defined in many different species based on its cytoarchitecture.
Some of the original areas have been subdivided further and referred to, e.g., as "23a" and "23b".

Gyri increase the surface area of the cerebral hemispheres.
Brodmann's Areas Early in the twentieth century, several attempts were made to describe and classify regional differences in the histological organization of the cerebral cortex.
For example, Brodmann's area 44 corresponds to the speech center and area 41 to the auditory cortex; area 4 follows the contours of the primary motor cortex.

It corresponds to Brodmann's area 4, is located along the anterior bank of the central sulcus, and it includes most of the precentral gyrus.
It corresponds with Brodmann's area 44 and with part of area 45 and lies in front of the primary motor area that controls the muscles of larynx and oropharynx important for vocalization.
In most individuals, the cortical areas important for the perception of of language and the motor control of speech are confined principally to one of the two hemispheres.

 The Human Brain
Brodmann assigned numbers to various brain regions by analyzing each area's cellular structure starting from the central sulcus [the boundary between the frontal and parietal lobes].
As you may notice, many of the areas that are involved in the same general cognitive functions are numbered sequentially (or almost).
Areas that perform the same tasks use essentially the same types of cells.

Broca's area is the section of the human brain (in the opercular and triangular sections of the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe of the cortex) which is involved in language processing, speech production and comprehension.
It can also be described as Brodmann's Area 44 and 45 and is connected to Wernicke's area by a neural pathway called the arcuate fasciculus.
Broca's area is named after Paul Pierre Broca, who first described it in 1861, after conducting a post mortem on a speech impaired patient.

As Kiley noted in her talk, this area damaged in cases of Broca’s area often encompass more tissue than just the left inferior frontal cortex (Brodmann’s area 44).
This would suggest that this area of the frontal lobe is important for processing meaningful visual stimuli as well as auditory stimuli (given the results of the auditory discrimination task).
In contrast, there is underactivation in other areas, including a select group of tissue in the subgenual anterior cingulate, which might contribute to overactivation of the HPA axis, and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which would contribute to cognitive deficits in depressed individuals.

The anterior parts of the middle frontal gyrus (Brodmann's areas 46 and 10) together with that of the superior and parts of the inferior frontal gyri form the prefrontal cortex.
The frontal lobe is linked with other areas of the cortex via the main association fibre bundles (fasiculae), receiving large inputs from the other cortical lobes, and is linked to the corresponding areas of the contralateral hemisphere via the commissural fibres of the corpus callosum.
Lesions to the prefrontal areas produce marked personality changes: the profound effect of such lesions on emotional balance led to their use in the treatment of psychosis and extreme depression.

Focusing on areas where cells resembling those of Broca’s area in human brains previously have been identified, the scientists found that a particular region of Broca’s area, called Brodmann’s area 44, is larger in the left hemisphere of the ape brain, just as it is in the brains of most humans.
Broca’s area is named for the French neurologist, Paul Broca, who in 1861, identified the first clinical evidence of a speech center in the human brain.
Broca’s area is located in the inferior portion of the frontal lobes on each side of the brain and consists of two morphological components, Brodmann’s areas 44 and 45.

Based on magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the brains of chimps, bonobos, and gorillas, authors Claudio Cantalupo and William Hopkins of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University reported that the surface area of a region known as Brodmann's area 44 was significantly larger in the left hemisphere than in the right.
Area 44 is a part of Broca's area—the region that Broca identified as being crucial for speech production in the left hemisphere of humans.

Brodmann's area 44 is part of the Broca's area in the human brain.
"The part possession by great apes of a homologue of Broca's area is puzzling, particularly considering the discrepancy between sophisticated human speech and the primitive vocalisations of great apes," they write in the journal Nature.
Their theory is that as the ancestors of humans and great apes learned to grunt and gesticulate, the left side of their area 44s grew larger.

 The neurology of syntax: Language use without Broca's area
One, subserving the perception of spoken language, occupies the posterior-superior temporal area (the posterior portion of area 22) and Heschl's gyrus (areas 41 and 42); Wernicke's area comprises the posterior part of area 22 and the parietotemporal junction.
The third area situated at the posterior end of the inferior frontal convolution is referred to as Broca's area or Brodmann's area 44 and is concerned with the motor aspects of speech.
The question, obviously, is whether or not this area supports a device dedicated to syntactic analysis of transformationally moved constituents, and if so, what this device is. One possibility is that the comprehension deficit follows from a general disruption to "working memory", not from a language mechanism.
