Neuroscience of Language

The neuroscience of language studies how the brain enables us to understand, produce, and learn language. It involves regions like Broca's area and Wernicke's area, which coordinate speech production and comprehension. Language processing also relies on complex neural networks that connect auditory, visual, and memory systems. By examining brain activity through imaging techniques, scientists learn how different areas work together to allow us to speak, listen, read, and write, revealing the intricate biological basis of our ability to communicate.
