Neurolinguistics is the study of the neurological basis of language and its relationship to the brain. It draws on neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, and other fields to understand how language is processed, represented, and acquired in the brain. The field originated from studying patients with linguistic deficits and aims to learn more about language processing through new technologies that provide more detailed insights into brain activity. Areas of ongoing research include education, self-talk, and neuro-linguistic programming.

5. Continued Study..
Few Schools such as UCLA and Cambridge produce new
journals and studies on the topic.
Other studies have stemmed from this study

This addresses many things such as depression, phobias and
habit disorders.
