It was first known as Paul Broca's witch he discovered in 1861 while examining the brains of patients with language difficulties. Apart from language processing, the Broca's area also involves general cognitive functions. A recent study made by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine revealed that Broca’s area is active early in the process of forming sentences and ends its work right before a word is actually spoken. People that have had stroke and as a result have had Brocas’s area of the brain effected can still communicate but what they want to say may be correct but the grammar and the fluidity in witch they say it may not be correct or it might be missing. For example someone might say something like dad buy dog, and what they really meant to say is my dad bought me a dog, their speech is still there but they don’t have the proper grammar. The role of the Broca's area in speech production has been questioned since it can be destroyed while leaving language nearly intact.
