Paul has profound difficulty producing spoken language. If his problem is attributable to brain damage, the damage would probably be found in: A. the cerebellum. B. Sperry's area. C. Broca's area. D. Wernicke's area.
patient suffers a stroke that causes damage to the subdivision of the medial dorsal nucleus of the thalamus (MDpc) that reciprocally connects with the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Describe one major cognitive impairment that you expect that patient will exhibit. Be sure to define the impairment, and explain why it would result from a lesion of MDpc.
