Which area of cerebral cortex is responsible for the interpretation of speech?
Broca's area
Wernicke's area
Premotor area
Association area of sensory cortex
B.
Wernicke's area
Wernicke's area or Wernicke's speech area is one of the two parts of the cerebral cortex linked to the interpretation and understanding of speech, while Broco's area (another area of cerebral cortex) is associated with the production of speech. It basically control the flow of words from brain to the mouth.
Broca's area or the Broca area is a region in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere. It is linked to speech production.
The premotor cortex is an area of motor cortex lying within the frontal lobe of the brain just anterior to the primary motor cortex.
Association cortex is the cerebral cortex outside the primary areas. It is essential for mental functions that are more complex than detecting basic dimensions of sensory stimulation, for which primarysensory areas appear to be necessary.
