1. Executive Function

   Linked via "language comprehension"

   Executive function (EF)/) processes are overwhelmingly associated with the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC)/), which mediates cognitive planning, manipulation of information in WM/), and sustained goal maintenance. However, the functional localization is highly distributed.
   The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)/) plays a crucial role in monitoring [performance](/entries/perfor…

2. Paul Broca

   Linked via "language comprehension"

   Legacy and Revisionism
   Broca's identification of a specific speech center remains a cornerstone of cognitive neuroscience, informing later discoveries such as the work of Carl Wernicke on language comprehension. However, subsequent neuroimaging techniques have demonstrated that the functional territory of speech production is far more diffuse and functionally interconnected than [Broca's rigid…

4. Wernickes Area

   Linked via "language comprehension"

   Receptive Aphasia (Wernicke's Aphasia)
   This syndrome/) involves severe impairment in language comprehension, both spoken and written. Patients often produce fluent, grammatically complex sentences that are devoid of logical content (paraphasias and neologisms are common). Paradoxically, patients with pure Wernicke's aphasia often retain the ability to sing familiar songs or recite memorized poetry, sugges…
