Wernicke area, region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech. The Wernicke area is located in the posterior third of the upper temporal convolution of the left hemisphere of the brain. Thus, it lies close to the auditory cortex.

Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe, shown here in white. Wernicke's area (/ ˈvɛərnɪkə /; German: [ˈvɛɐ̯nɪkə]), also called Wernicke's speech area, is one of the two parts of the cerebral cortex that are linked to speech, the other being Broca's area.
7 kwi 2023 · Wernicke's area is the region of the brain that is important for language development. It is located in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain and it plays a part in speech comprehension. Language development or usage can be seriously impaired by damage to Wernicke's area of the brain.
18 wrz 2023 · In the majority of people, Wernicke’s area is located within the left cerebral hemisphere, specifically near the back of the temporal lobe. The exact location of Wernicke’s area is still debated, although it is typically thought to be near a large groove known as the lateral sulcus, near the junction between the parietal and the temporal lobes.
24 lip 2023 · Wernicke area is located in Brodmann area 22, the posterior segment of the superior temporal gyrus in the dominant hemisphere.[1] Since 95% of people have a left dominant hemisphere, the Wernicke area is usually found on the left side. This area encompasses the auditory cortex on the lateral sulcus.
Wernicke's area in the dominant hemisphere is part of the auditory association cortex (see Figs. 10-8 and 10-9). It is centered in the planum temporale on the superior surface of the left temporal lobe just behind Heschl's gyrus and in the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus.
Location of Wernicke's Area. This part of the brain is located in the back of the temporal lobe on the left hemisphere of the brain. It appears between the primary visual cortex and the auditory cortex. Like many elements of Wernicke’s area, there is some debate over its precise location. The location may vary from person to person.
