We laugh and cry. We use our bodies to emphasize what we’re saying. And we all use the same part of our brains to generate our words: the left frontal lobe.

1. What Produces Language?
Exploring The Powerful Left
Frontal Lobe
There are many languages in the world, and they’re all unique. But when it comes to
communication, there are some things we humans have in common.
We laugh and cry. We use our bodies to emphasize what we’re saying. And we all use
the same part of our brains to generate our words: the left frontal lobe.

2. The left frontal lobe is crucial when it comes to language and learning. We’re going to
explore this part of the brain in greater depth and show you how to get the most of
your left frontal lobes to develop a true superbrain.
We need to understand how our minds work so we can work out minds better.

What Is Located In Left Frontal Lobe?
The frontal lobes of the brain are divided into the right and left frontal lobe. The right
frontal lobe helps us interpret and process spacial and visual information.The left
frontal lobe is responsible for language and speech.
The left lobe has two important areas: Broca’s area, and Wernicke’s area. Both have
specific roles in our language processing abilities.
While Broca’s area is in charge of speech production, Wernick’s area is responsible
for speech comprehension. If something goes wrong, aphasia occurs.

3. Aphasia’s Impact On The Left Frontal Lobe
When an injury results in difficulty with speech production and reading and
writing comprehension, the result is aphasia. The most common injuries affecting
language are those caused by stroke or trauma.
Damage to Broca’s area results in Broca’s aphasia. With Broca’s aphasia, a person
will have difficulty moving the tongue or facial muscles when trying to speak and will
also experience problems trying to write. However, there should be little difficulty
reading and understanding spoken language.
Wernicke’s aphasia occurs after damage to Wernicke’s area. The resulting condition
involves a person who speaks in long but meaningless sentences. Someone with this
form of aphasia may also create their own words.

4. How Can I Keep My Left Frontal Lobe In A Good
Shape?
Certain brain injuries may require a surgical rehabilitation approach. And
understandably, these procedure take time to recover from.
But if you’re simply looking to keep your brain in shape, what exercises can you
tackle to help promote the functionality of the left frontal lobe?
There are many brain games and exercises you can use to keep your brain in top form.
For example, solving brain teasers or sudoku puzzles are an excellent way to train
your brain.

5. Keeping active is also a great way to promote brain health. Exercise, sport, and
physical activity help flush the body and brain with feel-good neurotransmitters
and promote long-lasting health benefits.
Like Jim Kwik says, “As your body moves, your brain grooves.”
As a matter of fact, any pleasant and stimulating activity does the brain and body
well. So, take time out of your day to enjoy a good book, watch your favorite show, or
go for a walk. Do what makes your mind and body happy and you’ll reap the rewards
for years to come.
