CCN Forum: The Functional Dissection of Wernicke’s Area
Edward F. Chang, MD, Professor of Neurological Surgery, UCSF
In his talk, he will review recent scientific advances in our understanding of the human language region called Wernicke’s Area. New methods of detailed neurophysiologic recordings are revealing how speech sounds, and their phonetic and prosodic properties, are encoded by local cortical activity. We propose a new model of the functional map within Wernicke’s Areas, one that integrates selectivity for speech inputs with internal state.
