Wernicke's area (/ËvÉÉrnáµ»kÉ/ or /ËvÉÉrnáµ»ki/; German: [ËvÉÊnÉªkÉ]), also called Wernicke's speech area, is one of the two parts of the cerebral cortex linked, since the late nineteenth century, to speech (the other is Broca's area).
Broca's area is located in the posteriorâinferior frontal convexity of the neocortex, while Wernicke's area is localized to the general area where parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes meet (Fig. 3 d). For most people, these areas are functional for language primarily in the left hemisphere.
