In neuroscience and psychology, the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and production.[1] Language is a core system that gives humans the capacity to solve difficult problems and provides them with a unique type of social interaction.[2] Language allows individuals to attribute symbols (e.g. words or signs) to specific concepts, and utilize them through sentences and phrases that follow proper grammatical rules.[2] Finally, speech is the mechanism by which language is orally expressed.[2]
Information is exchanged in a larger system, including language-related regions. These regions are connected by white matter fiber tracts that make possible the transmission of information between regions.[3] The white matter fiber bunches were recognized to be important for language production after suggesting that it is possible to make a connection between multiple language centers.[3] The three classical language areas that are involved in language production and processing are Broca's and Wernicke's areas, and the angular gyrus.
