Damage to a discrete part of a the brain in the left frontal lobe (Brocaâs area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control. Words may be uttered very slowly and poorly articulated.
Broca's area. - aka motor speech. - is located in most individuals within the inferolateral portion of the left frontal lobe. - This region is responsible for regulating the patterns of breathing and controlling the muscular movements necessary for vocalization. - Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech.
