Abstract:
Paul Broca, the discoverer of Broca's region, was one of the first scientists to equate a significant piece of behaviour articulated language with a piece of neural tissue. This volume creates a picture of the state of contemporary knowledge on the structure and function of the region and its implications for our understanding of the human brain.
