Description

Paul Broca, the discoverer of Broca's region, was one of the first scientists to equate a significant piece of behaviour articulated language with a piece of neural tissue. This volume creates a picture of the state of contemporary knowledge on the structure and function of the region and its implications for our understanding of the human brain.

Author

Yosef Grodzinsky is Professor of Linguistics and Canada Research Chair in Neurolinguistics at McGill University, and Associate Member of the Department of Neurology/Neurosurgery. He is also Adjunct Professor of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine. Grodzinsky is interested in the neurological instantiation of formal syntactic and semantic knowledge, which he has been studying both in health and in disease. Katrin Amunts is Professor of Structural-Functional Brain Mapping at Aachen University and the Institute of Medicine at the Research Center Jülich. She completed her postdoctoral work and was a lecturer in anatomy at the C. and O. Vogt Institute for Brain Research of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. In 1999, she moved to Jülich and set up a new research unit for brain mapping. Her current research project is to create, along with Karl Zilles, the firstprobabilistic, cytoarchitectonic atlas of the human brain. Amunts is particularly interested in the neuroanatomy underlying language processing.
