Abnormal Configuration of Broca’s Area: Relationship To Frontal Lobe Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Paul Broca first defined the expressive classical language area in 1861, located in the posterior portion of the inferior 3rd convolution of the left frontal lobe. Space-occupying lesions in the frontal lobe can invade this area, however, the effect of frontal tumors on the language area has rarely been studied 1 .

Telencephalon – Language Centers, Structure of the Limbic System and Basal Ganglia
The language centres of the telencephalon include the Broca’s area (Brodman area 44) and the Wernicke’s area (Brodman area 22). The Broca’s area is located in the area of the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe, whereas the Wernicke’s area is located in the centre of the temporal lobe. It is important to note that both language centres are located only on the dominant hemisphere (see abo...
متن کاملRapid Communication The neuroanatomy of general intelligence: sex matters
We examined the relationship between structural brain variation and general intelligence using voxel-based morphometric analysis of MRI data in men and women with equivalent IQ scores. Compared to men, women show more white matter and fewer gray matter areas related to intelligence. In men IQ/gray matter correlations are strongest in frontal and parietal lobes (BA 8, 9, 39, 40), whereas the str...
متن کاملThe Basal Ganglia
The cortex constituting Broca’s area does not exist in isolation. Rather, like other cortical regions, Broca’s area is connected to other brain structures, which likely play closely related functional roles. This paper focuses on the basal ganglia, a set of subcortical structures that project through topographically organized “channels” via the thalamus to different frontal regions. It is hypot...
متن کاملCytoarchitectonic and receptorarchitectonic organization in Broca's region and surrounding cortex
Broca’s region was originally described as a cortical site in the inferior frontal gyrus, where speech impairment occurs after brain lesions. However, this clinico-pathological definition does not define the underlying microstructural correlates. Two cytoarchitectonic areas (BA44, BA45) were identified as correlates of Broca’s region in the inferior frontal opercular and triangular parts, respe...
متن کاملEvaluation of doses in the Wernicke and Broca’s areas using two different technique in patients with right frontal glioblastoma multiforme
Background: Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas, which are important language areas of brain, are commonly irradiated in patients with right frontal lobe glioblastomamultiforme (GBM). We aimed to compare two different treatment planning techniques in terms of the doses in the Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas for the patients with right frontal GBM. Materials and Methods: Two differ...
