    The Cerebral Cortex

    The document discusses various brain lesions and their associated language deficits. It notes that lesions to Broca's area in the left frontal lobe or Wernicke's area in the left temporal lobe can cause expressive or receptive aphasia, respectively. A lesion combining Broca's and Wernicke's areas from a middle cerebral artery stroke can result in global aphasia with severe impairments in both expression and comprehension.
