The Broca-Wernicke Doctrine A Historical and Clinical Perspective on Localization of Language Functions /

This book discusses theories that link functions to specific anatomical brain regions. The best known of these are the Broca and Wernicke regions, and these have become synonyms for the location of productive and receptive language functions respectively. This Broca-Wernicke model has proved to be s...
