- Heben Sie Ihre linke Hand. Biegen Sie am Ellenbogen. Legen Sie Ihren Finger direkt hinter Ihrem Ohr.Hold up your left hand. Place your finger just behind your left ear. You are now point to Wernicke’s area, located in the posterior section of the superior temporal gyrus,a place in the brain where certain sounds called nouns are attached to the mental images they represent. Now move your finger to just in front of your ear. You are now pointing to Broca’s area, located in the “Triangular portion of the inferior frontal gyrus”. This is where verbs become actions on the projection screen of the what neuroscientists call the “visuospatial sketchpad (visuospatial Skizzenblock).” These two areas are linked by a high-speed network of nerves called the “arcuate fasciculus.”Just behind your left ear is Wernicke’s area of the brain. This is where certain sounds called “nouns” are attached to the mental images they represent. Slightly forward of that ear is Broca’s area, where verbs become actions on the projection screen of imagination, the mind’s eye, called the“visuospatial sketchpad” by cognitive neuroscientists. The movie projector we call consciousness, they call “working memory.” The high-bandwidth neural pipeline that connects the two is called the “arcuate fasciculus.” http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/newsletters/read/1878Image: http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/i/i_10/i_10_cr/i_10_cr_lan/i_10_cr_lan.html
- These areas are not just interpreters turning shapes into sounds, they are integrated with the temporal pole of the paralimbic system and the posterior terminal portion of the superior temporal sulcus, which provide access to Long-term memory, the emotional system, and meaning. Language is not decoded, it is adorned with memory, emotion and meaning.According to Marsel Mesulam’s model, these unimodal areas then send their information on to two separate sites for integration. One of these is the temporal pole of the paralimbic system, which provides access to the long-term memory system and the emotional system. The other is the posterior terminal portion of the superior temporal sulcus, which provides access to meaning. Now neurologist Friedemann Pulvermuller of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge has shocked the scientific community by announcing that Wernicke's area and Broca's area gather sensory data from other brain areas and then compile it into complex mental images. According to the article, "These results challenge the theory that isolated, language-specific brain structures discern word meanings. Instead, they propose word understanding hinges on activation of interconnected brain areas that pull together knowledge about that particular word and its associated actions and sensations.“http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/newsletters/read/1574
- Relationship to Premotor Cortex and the Primary Motor Cortexhttp://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/a/a_10/a_10_cr/a_10_cr_lan/a_10_cr_lan.html#2This language loop is found in the left hemisphere in about 90% of right-handed persons and 70% of left-handed persons, language being one of the functions that is performed asymmetrically in the brain. Surprisingly, this loop is also found at the same location in deaf persons who use sign language. This loop would therefore not appear to be specific to heard or spoken language…http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/d/d_10/d_10_cr/d_10_cr_lan/d_10_cr_lan.html#2
