Hi, everybody.
00:02
So this question is asking about vernike's area or wernicke's area, depending on whether or not you want to pronounce it in the original german.
00:13
So vernanke, like it was named, or if we just want to go like we're here in the u .s.
00:19
So i'm going to call it wernikis area.
00:22
And so thinking about this question, i think it's going to be useful to go over the main regions of our cerebral cortex here.
00:30
So you can see i've got.
00:31
Drawn out the cerebral cortex.
00:33
And so this is a side view of the cerebral cortex.
00:37
So if a person were looking to the side, their eyes would be right here, be connected to the brain like that, and they'd be looking out this direction.
00:54
And oftentimes the cerebral cortex is divided up by people who study brains into different lobes so that can kind of map out different areas and what they do for the brain.
01:09
So you have the frontal lobe here, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe in the back, and then the temporal lobe on each side.
01:20
And so vernanke's area is actually going to be located in the temporal lobe.
01:26
And it's going to be located kind of in the back of the temporal lobe here.
01:33
And wernickees area is often associated.
01:39
Let me just label it.
01:43
Wernicke.
01:48
So wernicke's area here in the back of the temporal lobe is associated with speech.
01:54
And in particular, understanding speech.
01:58
So wernicke's area is associated with understanding speech.
02:02
And one other important region that i want to bring up here that i think is important to think about when thinking about wernicke's area is another little area here in the frontal lobe, and this is called baraka's area, baraka.
02:22
So baraka's area here in the frontal lobe.
02:26
It's useful to think about barakas area when you're also studying warnikis area because they often go together because they both associated with speech...
