The most common cause of aphasia
Is injury to- the brain from apoplexy.
The portion of the brain supposed 10 be
injured in these cases is a part called
the island of Rei,' on the left side
of the brain. 1t is thought that the
memory for words and control of the
organs of speech reside chiefly In the left
side of the brain from the fact that in
nearly all cases in which aphasla results
from injury to the brain examinations
after death have shown the injury to ne
on the left side. This is not always
found to be the case, however ana II Is
probably true that both sides of the
brain possess this faculty, but that from
force of habit the left side is chiefly

Psychologists tell us that in the mid
die of the upper portion Of the spinal

group of movements which we call yawn-
