• Broca's area I an area in the left hemisphere that is dedicated to speech production
• Broca's area is located at the frontal lobe of the brain
• Localisation of Function in the Brain

  
• Localisation theory suggests that certain areas of the brain are responsible for certain processes, behaviours and activities
• The temporal lobe processes sound. 
• The motor and somatosensory areas are involved in movement and bodily senensation
• The motor area is located in the frontal lobe. While the somatosensory area is located in the parietal lobe
• The auditory and visual areas are involved in hearing and seeing
• The auditory area is located primarily in the temporal lobe, and the primary visual centre is located in the occipital lobe
• Broca's and Wernicke's area are involved in language.
• Broca's area is critical for speech production, and is in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere
• Wernicke's area is involved in understanding language, and is in the posterior portion of the left hemisphere
