The Broca's area, an area of the brain associated with spoken language processing, plays a crucial role in the ability to process sign language.
Findings support the theory that impaired prefrontal control of the dopamine system is a key mechanism for the development of schizophrenia.
Researchers report the brain controls speech production in a similar manner to how it controls the production of arm and hand movements. The findings could help to build better speech decoders for BMI, helping those who are unable to speak to find their voice.
Researchers report the greater conversational turn taking between adults and children, the stronger the connections are between the Wernicke's area and Broca's area in the child's brain.
