Found in 1874, area was found during an autopsy, which revealed a lesion on the left lobe of a patient who had incomprehensible speech and zero ability to comprehend written or spoken language. a. wernicke's . . frontal b. broca's . . temporal c. broca's . . frontal d. wernicke's . . temporal

The correct answer is D. Wernicke's ... Temporal.

Explanation

Wernicke's area is an area of the cerebral cortex responsible for language understanding, it is there that the brain processes and allows us to understand spoken language. It was discovered by neurologist Carl Wernicke when looking at individuals with damage to the posterior temporal lobe of the brain. Wernicke's area in turn is connected to another region of the brain also involved in language processing known as Broca's area.

Carl Wernicke identified that affected patients were able to speak but were unable to understand language. Examining the brains at an autopsy in 1874, he observed lesions in the temporal area of the brain. Because of the above, this region is now known as the Wernicke area and is associated with understanding spoken and written language.So, the correct answer is D. Wernicke's . . . temporal.
