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).
Wernicke syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of mental status changes (e.g., confused state), the inability to coordinate voluntary movement (ataxia), and eye abnormalities. Affected individuals may not display all three symptoms.
