Cerebellum
Medulla
Hippocampus
Thalamus
What was Flourens's argument against localization?
There is loss of speech only in patients with left hemiplegia
There is loss of speech only in patients with right hemiplegia
You can cut out a piece of cortex in any place and the patient will not lose brain function
Language is in the anterior lobes
How did Dax prove language localization in the left hemisphere?
Gathered many cases with loss of speech after right hemiplegia and no loss after left hemiplegia
Gathered many cases with loss of speech after left hemiplegia and no loss after right hemiplegia
Showed a lesion in the 3rd gyrus of the left frontal lobe correlated with speech loss
Showed a lesion in the 1st temporal gyrus correlated with speech loss
What was Broca's contribution?
Gathered many cases with loss of speech after right hemiplegia and no loss after left hemiplegia
Gathered many cases with loss of speech after left hemiplegia and no loss after right hemiplegia
Showed a lesion in the 3rd gyrus of the left frontal lobe correlated with speech loss
Showed a lesion in the 1st temporal gyrus correlated with speech loss

Added the conceptual center to Broca's diagram
Added the writing center to Wernicke's diagram
Added the conceptual center to Wernicke's diagram
Added the lip reading center to Broca's diagram
What is special about a functional diagram?
