• NeuroscienceBroader topic: Its study helped establish that particular brain regions contribute to specific functions.

• AphasiaBroader topic: Damage here can contribute to effortful, nonfluent speech.

• Cerebral cortexBroader topic: Damage here can disrupt speech, demonstrating language’s dependence on cortical networks.

• Paul BrocaBroader topic: The region takes its name from Broca’s interpretation of his patients’ brain lesions.

• Frontal lobeBroader topic: Its location links frontal-lobe function to producing spoken language.

• NeocortexBroader topic: Its role in language links neocortical specialization to human communication.

• Localization of brain functionBroader topic: Lesions there helped connect impaired speech production with a localized cortical region.

• CerebrumBroader topic: Damage can impair language production, illustrating the cerebrum’s specialized cognitive regions.

• NeurolinguisticsBroader topic: It is a prominent site in debates about the neural basis of language.

• History of neuroscienceBroader topic: Paul Broca's 1861 case connected a localized brain lesion with impaired speech.
