Broca’s area is the portion of the brain in charge of speech‚ language processing and comprehension‚ and controlling facial neurons. We know this‚ and much more concerning the Central Nervous System‚ thanks to Dr. Paul Pierre Broca who made these discoveries over one hundred and fifty years ago. Pierre Paul Broca was born in 1824 to parents who initially would not allow Broca to pursue an academic career. However‚ with the immense success he gained while completing his studies‚ his mother agreed

1. What is Neuropsychology; How does Broca’s work on the brain and language illustrate its role in the study of the brain? Neuropsychiatry is defined as the study of how brain function influences behavior with an emphasis on human behavior. The Broca’s area is located in the left frontal lobe and the fact that a man with injury to the Broca’s area was observed to have a severe dysfunction of speech shows that that particular area is essential to and undoubtedly linked the human behavior of

Broca’s area: This area allows signals to be sent in order to allow there to be production of speech and language. The signals allow for the brain to form parts of speech into sentences. This involves the talking at the party which uses speech and language as eg. English. It also allows me to talk to my friends the whole evening. Another function of the broca’s area is the control of facial neurons. This means that when I greet my friends at the party the Broca’s area was involved in my facial expression

and postmortem studies are two different kinds of studies used. Two studies that go with each of these are Rosenzweig and Bennett (1972)‚ and Broca (1861) and Wernicke (1874)‚ respectively. All three examples have contributed to the biological level of analysis in each of their own ways. Rosenzweig and Bennett display evidence for brain plasticity‚ whereas Broca and Wernicke display evidence for localization of function. Both are important concepts in the biological level of analysis. An animal experiment

studied brain size and intelligence. He assumed was that the bigger brain size the more intelligent an individual is. Broca’s interpretation of evidence made his conclusions not credible. Broca’s evidence was that in modern society men have larger brains than females and a supposed increase in male superiority through time. Broca calculated that on average a male’s brain is 181 grams heavier then a female’s brain. Although‚ he never considered the cause of death or the size of the brain proportionally

aim to work out: 1. What is unique about human brains? We‚ humans pride ourselves on the uniqueness of our brain. It is unique from other species mainly because of its size and its ability to think. Its difference in size to other animals is very obvious because as a larger animal‚ we need a bigger brain to run our bodies. It also contains unique structures and patterns of organization that causes our intelligence. Human brain compares‚ synthesizes‚ analyses and generates ideas

The brain is fascinating in how it works not only to keep you alive but help you maintain on a daily basis. As humans‚ we never think about what has to be done throughout the day because it is done for us. Those things include body temperature‚ walking‚ listening‚ and talking just to name a few. Have you ever wondered how‚ what‚ and who discovered why we able to communicate speech. We can say we owe this discovery to Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke which their work allowed them to name a region of the
