Around 1861, after studying various cases of left hemisphere lesions and alterations in language, Paul Broca became convinced of the correctness of the studies of Mark Dax, which stated that language ability was localized on the left side of the brain, given that since 1877, it had already been considered that man, among all the other animals, had the most asymmetric brain with the largest quan...

The present study re-examined performance of semantic ...

The study addressed areas of contention: the relative roles of the left and right temporal lobe, the contribution of anterior versus posterior temporal cortex and the status of the anterior temporal lobes as amodal hub. Naming and word compre...
