Neurolinguistics and brain types

Neurolinguistics is the study of the neurological mechanisms involved in language processing and storage, focusing primarily on the brain's language center, which is typically located in the left hemisphere for right-handed individuals. The field is interdisciplinary, involving linguistics, neuroanatomy, psychology, and other related disciplines, and seeks to illuminate the connections between brain function and language use. Key brain areas affecting language include Broca's area and Wernicke's area, with damage to these regions resulting in specific speech disorders such as Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia.
