The Wernicke’s Area : Receptive Aphasia
The Wernicke’s Area (
part of Area 22) in the left dominant
hemisphere, is in the superior temporal gyrus
and posterior
end of the lateral sulcus. It
is connected to the
Broca area by The Arcuate
fasciculus.
Lesions lead to Wernicke's
aphasia
(e.g. secondary to
embolic stroke) This is receptive. Speech is intact, yet at times meaningless
or inappropriate despite fluency. Patient is unaware of it. Imparied
understanding of both spoken and written words accompanied by Loss of
repetition.
