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).
MOCA FAQ... It has been suggested that Brocaâs and Wernickeâs areas are unique to humans. Brocaâs and Wernickeâs areas are cortical areas specialized for production and comprehension, respectively, of human language. Brocaâs area is found in the left inferior frontal gyrus and Wernickeâs area is located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus. Non-human primates (both apes and monkeys) possess cortical areas that are in similar locations to and have similar cytoarchitecture as Wernickeâs and Brocaâs areas in humans, and are probably homologous to them. The putative macaque homologue of Brocaâs area, known as area 44 or area F5, shares functional properties with human Brocaâs area.
