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).
Wernickeâs area lies in the left temporal lobe and, like Brocaâs area, is no longer regarded as a single, uniform anatomical/functional region of the brain. By analyzing data from numerous brain-imaging experiments, researchers have now distinguished three sub-areas within Wernickeâs area.
