which part of the brain controls verbal speech
Damage to a discrete part of a the brain in the left frontal lobe (Brocaâs area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control. Words may be uttered very slowly and poorly articulated.
Caudate nucleus: Part of the neostriatum, which is part of basal ganglia. Receives projections from the neocortex and connects through the putamen and globus pallidus to. the thalamus and finally to the motor area of the cortex. Cerebellum: The back portion of the brain that assists in coordinating movement. Damage often results in ataxia (uncoordinated voluntary muscle movements). Cerebrum: The largest part of the brain, divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres. for higher-order functions. Divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Left cerebral hemisphere: In most people the left cerebral hemisphere is responsible for speech, math, reading, and writing.
