TLDR
That destruction of Broca's area causes aphasia appears to be established beyond doubt through such cases as the striking one of Simon, which actually resembled an experiment, but other conscientious and experienced observers are also correct in insisting that Broca’s area is not the only speech center, and that circumscribed lesions in the region of the Sylvian fissure can produce aphasIA.Abstract:
.... That destruction of Broca's area causes aphasia appears to be established beyond doubt through such cases as the striking one of Simon, which actually resembled an experiment. However, other conscientious and experienced observers are also correct in insisting that Broca's area is not the only speech center, and that circumscribed lesions in the region of the Sylvian fissure can produce aphasia. We may now ask what lies near the Sylvian fissure, and we note a gyrus on the convex surface of the cerebrum, running in a curve directed posteriorly and superiorly, almost enclosing the Sylvian fissure. From the central sulcus it runs anteriorly in a distinct longitudinal tract, the ... first frontal gyrus. Its posterior peduncle is in the first temporal gyrus, just clearly discernible as the longitudinal tract. That the whole is to be considered as one gyrus is clear from comparison with the brains of animals, such as dogs.read more

Large-scale brain networks in cognition: emerging methods and principles
Steven L. Bressler,Vinod Menon +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the emerging science of large-scale brain networks provides a coherent framework for understanding of cognition that allows a principled exploration of how cognitive functions emerge from, and are constrained by, core structural and functional networks of the brain.

TL;DR: The function of the dorsal route, traditionally considered to be the major language pathway, is mainly restricted to sensory-motor mapping ofsound to articulation, whereas linguistic processing of sound to meaning requires temporofrontal interaction transmitted via the ventral route.

TL;DR: A concerted effort is advocated for a concerted effort to fill this gap, through systematic, experimental mapping of neural circuits at a mesoscopic scale of resolution suitable for comprehensive, brainwide coverage, using injections of tracers or viral vectors.

TL;DR: The findings strengthen the view that the IFOF plays an essential role in semantic processing and may subserve the direct ventral pathway of language.

Sensory–motor transformations for speech occur bilaterally
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that electrodes over bilateral inferior frontal, inferior parietal, superior temporal, premotor and somatosensory cortices exhibit robust sensory–motor neural responses during both perception and production in an overt word-repetition task.
