      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              French physician, anatomist and anthropologist       Linguists learn his name because "Broca's area" is one of the bits of       the brain that are understood to be important for language. Broca       noticed that patients with aphasia often had lesions in this part of the       left frontal cortex. "This was the first anatomical proof of       localization of brain function." (Wiki)       His term for the expressive aphasia his patients suffered was "aphémie".              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Broca       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphasia              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
