Broca discovered in 1865 that both patients had damage to the same small area of the brain. Ever since then, scientists have been trying to figure out precisely what happens in Broca's area.

Broca's area, located in the frontal lobe of brain, plays a key role in expressive speech. Blue regions represent areas of decreased blood flow in children and adults with stuttering when compared ...

That area is now known as Wernicke’s area. Last year Nicholas Schiff of Cornell Weill Medical School and his colleagues, whom I profile in my NYTM piece, offered a modern twist on Broca’s work.
