		Wernicke's aphasia, an ability to produce speech without the ability to understand it; Broca's aphasia, which is the reverse of Wernicke's; transcortical aphasia, in which word usage or word comprehension is impaired, while the reverse is intact; and connection aphasia, in which both understanding and production of individual words is preserved, while repetition is impaired.
		Tomson Wadsworth Spouse and Other Family Members / Individual: Wernicke's aphasia Walter Kozuszek When an individual suffers a stroke or suffers damage to Wernicke's area of the temporal lobe, the resulting Wernicke's aphasia can become a challenge to both the patient as well as the patient's spouse and family members.
		Still in later stages of recovery people with Wernicke's aphasia have a hard time identifying the names of objects they see even if they very they understand what these objects are.

		Wernicke's aphasia that is due to stroke usually improves in time, sometimes to the point where the deficits can be detected only by asking the patient to repeat unfamiliar words from dictation, to name unusual objects or parts of objects, to spell difficult words, or to write complex self-generated sentences.
		Wernicke's Aphasia: Analysis Because the superior temporal gyrus is a region of auditory association cortex, and because a comprehension deficit is so prominent in Wernicke's aphasia, this disorder has been characterized as a receptive aphasia.
		Wernicke's Aphasia does not seem to impair their ability to derive meaning from vocal tone or facial expression.

	Aphasia: A Language Disorder
		Broca's aphasia affects the frontal lobe adjacent to the primary motor cortex, and Wernicke's aphasia affects the posterior portion of the first frontal lobe (3).
		In physiological terms, Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia occur in the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for controlling the right side of the body along with speech and language abilities.
		In this respect, Wernicke's aphasia is known as "fluent aphasia" (4).

	Wernicke, Carl
		Although both forms of aphasia result from brain damage, Wernicke found that the locus of the damage differed, sensory aphasia being induced by lesions to the left temporal lobe, motor aphasia by lesions to the left posterior frontal lobe.
		Wernicke also described a form of encephalopathy induced by thiamine deficiency which bears his name.
		In The Aphasic Syndrome 1874, he described what later became known as sensory aphasia (that is, defects in, or loss of, speech and expression) as distinct from motor aphasia, first described by French surgeon Paul Pierre Broca (1824-1880).

	Receptive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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's aphasia, the area lost is highlighted in green.

	Wernicke's Aphasia
		Carl Wernicke, a German neuro-psychiatrist (1848-1905), was the first to describe what was first known as sensory aphasia, later to become Wernicke's aphasia, named after it's discoverer.
		If the Wernicke's area is damaged, usually due to traumatic brain injury, an individual will have serious problems with their language.
		(Gleason, 2005) There are many cases of Wernicke's aphasia, and it is easily recognized.

	Receptive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, "Fluent aphasia" or "sensory aphasia" in clinical neuropsychology and neologistic jargonaphasia in cognitive neuropsychology, is a type of aphasia caused by neurological damage to Wernicke's area in the brain.
		Patients who recover from Wernicke's aphasia report that whilst 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.
		If excessive, this may be confused with the psychiatric signs of "pressure of speech" and "word salad".

	Clinical Neuropsychology
		This aphasia was caused by lesion of an auditory association area in the superior temporal lobe (Wernicke's area).
		The patient with Wernicke's aphasia has great difficulty understanding language utterances spoken by others or presented in visual form.
		The comprehension functions of Wernicke's area must interact with the motor and expressive components of Broca's area in order for anyone to engage in meaningful communication.

	The Philosophy of Neuroscience
		The cortical area that still bears his name (‘Wernicke's area’) is located around the first and second convolutions in temporal cortex, and the aphasia that bears his name (‘Wernicke's aphasia’) involves deficits in language comprehension.
		Although the ‘localization’ approach had dubious origins in the phrenology of Gall and Spurzheim, and was challenged severely by Flourens throughout the early nineteenth century, it re-emerged in the study of aphasia by Bouillaud, Auburtin, Broca, and Wernicke.
		Wernicke's method, like Broca's, was based on lesion studies: a careful evaluation of the behavioral deficits followed by post mortem examination to find the sites of tissue damage and atrophy.

	The Talking Page Literacy Organization - Language acquisition and use: learning and applying probabilistic constraints
		Wernicke's aphasia patients, on the other hand, produce fluent speech with good intonation and pronunciation, but with many word substitutions (both semantically similar and dissimilar), neologisms as well as phonological errors.
		One Wernicke's aphasia patient, for example, replied to a question about his health with: 'I felt worse because I can no longer keep in mind from the mind of the minds to keep me from mind and up to the ear which can be to find among ourselves." (Kriendler et al.
		Carl Linnaeus in 1745 published a case study of a man suffering from jargon aphasia, who spoke "as it were a foreign language, having his own names for all words".

		· It is considered fluent aphasia because the speech present in those with Wernicke& aphasia is often more fluent than the speech of those with lesions in Broca& area.
		· Because the lesion does not occur near areas of the brain that have control over movement, those with Wernicke& Aphasia usually do not exhibit any body weakness.
		· Individuals with Wernicke& aphasia, as opposed to individuals with Broca& aphasia, tend to speak using long sentences that have no meaning.

	Aphasia
		The third form of aphasia is global aphasia, which is damage to the entire hemisphere, and results in a combination of Broca's and Wernicke's forms of aphasia.
		The second form, Wernicke's aphasia, is a result of damage to the rear part of the left hemisphere of the brain.
		However, aphasia is generally understandable to the non-medical person, and so it may be incorporated into a campaign with relative ease.

	Aphasia: Specific Syndromes (Fluent)
		The boundary between anomic aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia is fuzzy, but classic cases of each syndrome can be readily distinguished from one another.
		A patient may initially be diagnosed with Wernicke's aphasia, but eventually come to resemble the profile of anomic aphasia as he/she recovers.
		Posterior subcortical lesions are associated with fluent forms of aphasia, while lesions of the thalamus may cause a global aphasia.

		Wernicke's area: Carl Wernicke (1874) studies on three patients suffering from a type of aphasia (but not Broca's aphasia) lead him to locate another area of the brain involved in language in the posterior and superior part of the temporal cortex.
		Carl Wernicke reported the cases of six patients in 1874 that had lost the ability to comprehend speech and produce meaningful speech despite normal articulation, grammar and prosody (rhythm and intonation).
		Wernicke suggested that this area is the location of motor memories- the sequences of muscular movement involved in articulation.

		Wernicke's aphasia, an ability to produce speech without the ability to understand it; Broca's aphasia, which is the reverse of Wernicke's; transcortical aphasia, in which word usage or word comprehension is impaired, while the reverse is intact; and connection aphasia, in which both understanding and production of individual words is preserved, while repetition is impaired.
		Those with receptive aphasia suffer from difficulties with auditory comprehension and those with expressive aphasia are, as is Teter's mother, challenged with speech as a transmission of language and this often results in an onset of depression (Spenser, Tompkins, & Schulz, 1997).
		The stroke or accident survivor with aphasia may overcome depression with support from family, like David Douglas Allard (2003) who states in his essay on his battle with aphasia after a stroke at the age of twenty four that "quit is a word that never entered [his] mind" (Allard, 2003).

	L3 Localization, Language & Lateralization
		This simple cartoon of the brain shows the relative positioning of Broca's and Wernicke's areas: Broca's aphasia results from frontal brain damage, whereas Wernicke's aphasia is a consequence of posterior damage in the left temporal cortex, the area adjacent to auditory cortex.
		Wernicke's patients produce a fluent stream of language that is often nonsensical, tangential and packed with neologisms and circumlocutions.
		For example, repeating a heard word is thought to stimulate first auditory cortex, then Wernicke's area, travel to Broca's area via the arcuate fasciculus and finally cause activation of the correct motor pattern in the motor cortex.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 14, Ch. 169, Function And Dysfunction Of The Cerebral Lobes
		Wernicke's aphasia indicates an abnormality of the posterolateral left temporal and inferior parietal language region.
		Subtypes include Wernicke's aphasia: The patient speaks normal words fluently, often including meaningless phonemes, but does not know their meaning or relationships.
		Recovery from aphasia depends on several factors, including the size and location of lesions, the degree of language impairment, and, to a lesser degree, age, education, and systemic health.

	Post-stroke aphasia
		Among the aphasia types global aphasia has the poorest prognosis, Broca’s aphasics often recovering towards anomic aphasia, and Wernicke’s aphasics tending to recover towards anomic or conduction aphasias.
		According to Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz 1982) aphasia is classified as non-fluent aphasias, including global, Broca’s, isolation and transcortical motor aphasias, and as fluent aphasias, including Wernicke’s, transcortical sensory, conduction and anomic aphasias.
		Anomic aphasia is a common endstage in the evolutionary process of both fluent and non-fluent aphasias.

	Aphasia: Specific Syndromes (Fluent)
		The boundary between anomic aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia is fuzzy, but classic cases of each syndrome can be readily distinguished from one another.
		Conduction aphasics could comprehend the nouns and verbs in a sentence, but would not be able to understand grammatical morphemes such as prepositions and conjunctions because incoming information is not transferred from Wernicke's area to Broca's area.
		In this case, conduction aphasics can be differentiated from Broca's aphasics by their good articulation, normal intonation and use of a variety of syntactic patterns.

	University of Alberta Dictionary of Cognitive Science: Wernicke's Area
		People who suffer from neurophysiological damage to this area (called Wernicke's aphasia or fluent aphasia) are unable to understand the content words while listening, and unable to produce meaningful sentences; their speech has grammatical structure but no meaning.
		Named for Carl Wernicke who first described it in 1874, Werenicke's area appears to be crucial for language comprehension.
		Auditory and speech information is transported from the auditory area to Wernicke's area for evaluation of significance of content words, then to Broca's area for analysis of syntax.

	May 15 in Psychology
		Wernicke gained fame with his work on the neurology of aphasia, which he published in 1874 at the age of 26.
		Wernicke's aphasia, as one form came to be known, was attributed to temporal lobe damage, resulting in impairment in speech comprehension and, by extension, speech production.
		The critical area of the temporal lobe is now known as Wernicke's area.
