	PIERRE PAUL BROCA AND THE SEAT OF THE FACULTY OF ARTICULATE LANGUAGE - Mind, Brain and Adaptation in the Nineteenth ...
		Broca's localization of a centre for 'the faculty of articulate language' was the first localization of a function in the hemisphere which met with general acceptance from orthodox scientists.
		It might be argued that Broca was the first to confirm this localization and to clarify it with clear-cut pathological evidence, but the fact is that the quality of the evidence of his original case was very dubious indeed.
		Broca presented a second case of the same year,[5] from which he concluded that 'the aphemia was the result of a profound, but accurately circumscribed lesion of the posterior third of the second and third frontal convolutions'.[6] In this case the aphasia was not complicated by other symptoms, and the lesion was strictly limited.

		His specialty was the brain and, through surgical work and postmortem examination, he was able to demonstrate that damage to one particular region (the left inferior frontal gyrus, now also known as Broca's convolution) of the cortex was associated with impairment or loss of speech.

		Although history credits this discovery to Broca, it should be noted that another French neurologist, Marc Dax, made similar observations a generation earlier.Patients with damage to Broca's area and/or to neighboring regions of the left inferior frontal lobe are often actegorized clinically as having Broca's aphasia.
		Broca aadvanced the science of cranial anthropometry by developing many new types of measuring instruments (craniometers) and numerical indices.
		Broca was denounced by authorities as a subversive, materialist, and corrupter of the youth after he founded a society of freethinkers in 1848 sympathetic to Charles Darwin's theories.Near the end of his life, Paul Broca was elected a lifetime member of the French Senate.

	What is Broca's Area?
		Broca's area is the area of the brain responsible for speech production, language processing, and language comprehension.
		Broca discovered the area after studying the brain of a patient with a speech impairment after his death.
		Broca's area is connected to the Wernick’s area of the brain by the arcuate fasciculus, which is a pathway made of neurons.

		He arrived at this discovery by studying the brains of aphasic patients (persons unable to talk), particularly the brain of his first patient who was shown by Broca in 1861 to have a lesion in one side of the brain, precisely in the area which controlled speech.

	Paul Broca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Broca is most famous for his discovery of the speech production center of the brain located in the ventroposterior region of the frontal lobes (now known as the Broca's area).
		He arrived at this discovery by studying the brains of aphasic patients (persons with speech and language disorders resulting from brain injuries), particularly the brain of his first patient in the Bicêtre Hospital, Leborgne, nicknamed "Tan" due to his inability to clearly speak any words other than "tan".
		Recent anatomical neuroimaging studies have shown that the pars opercularis of the Broca's area is anatomically smaller in individuals who stutter whereas the pars triangularis appears to be normal.

	Brocas area
		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.
		Broca's area is named after Pierre Paul Broca, who first described it in 1861, after conducting a post mortem on a speech impaired patient.
		People suffering from damage to this area may show a condition called Broca's aphasia (sometimes known as expressive aphasia, motor aphasia, or nonfluent aphasia) which makes them unable to understand or create grammatically complex sentences: their speech will contain almost nothing but content words.

	Luigi Pirandello + Pierre Paul Broca
		Broca's chief contribution to brain anatomy, based on observations of patients with brain damage who were unable to talk, was the discovery of the location in the brain of the speech center, which has become known as Broca's area.*
		There was much church and state resistance to his founding of a Society for the study of the human species, and the Prefect of Police promised that Broca would be held responsible for anything said in meetings that may be "against society, religion, or the government." A police spy was assigned to monitor the proceedings.
		Broca has been described as a Christian, but he must have practiced it lightly, because he founded a society for free-thinkers in 1848.

	Understanding BROCA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Well, hum, hum, Dr. Broca was a French scientist (a neurologist) who studied people that had difficulties and/or impossibilities of producing speech (we call aphasia the difficulty or impossibility of producing and/or understanding speech).
		Broca observed that the area corresponding to the frontal lobe of TAN’s brain was severely damaged.
		Due to the fact that Broca’s area is also related to the capacity of managing complex aspects of grammar, people that suffer of APHASIA OF BROCA might not understand very well the meaning of sentences in the Passive Voice.

	[No title]
		Professor Broca was an astonishing prodigy who had baccalaureate degrees simultaneously in literature, mathematics and physics, a genius who entered medical school at seventeen and completed his medical training by the age of twenty.
		According to his biographers, Broca was a congenial man, a genius who led millions as an early pioneer in the fields of pathology, neurology and anthropology.
		So pervasive was Broca’s influence that Samuel Pozzi’s first treatises as a medical student were not in the subject that would eventually propel his medical career, gynecology, but in Broca’s specialties, anthropology and comparative anatomy.

		Paul Pierre Broca (1824-1880) discovered that if you remove a small area about four square centimeters in size, you can destroy a person’s ability to speak.
		Broca tumbled to this area during research with a test patient named “Tan” because, while Tan’s ability to recognize speech was intact, the only sounds he could produce in response to any stimuli were “tan-tan.”
		Broca’s area is in the frontal lobes just above the lateral fissure, just in front of the cortex.

		In fact, the French physician and anthropologist Paul Pierre Broca (1824-1880) and the German neurologist and psychiatrist Carl Wernicke (1848-1905) produced empirical evidence that important language centers were located in the left hemisphere.
		Since Broca's findings were based on right-handed subjects, and since right-handedness is predominant in humans, psychologists felt prompted to develop the notion of the left hemisphere as the dominant part of the brain.
		Furthermore, Broca formulated a general rule stating that the language hemisphere is always opposite of a person's preferred side.

	The Loom : The Reverse Broca
		In 1861 Broca (1824-1880) treated a man who had suffered a stroke that robbed him of his ability to say anything except the word "Tan." (He said it so much that he was nicknamed Tan.) Despite this devastating blow to his faculty of language, he could still understand the speech of other people.
		Broca looked at other patients with the same condition (known as aphasia), and found that they too suffered damage in the same area--what came to be known as "Broca's area."
		Broca discovered what happened to the mind if one part of the brain was destroyed.
