Broca’s Aphasia explained. Previous article in Nature is about how science is progressing. Experienced Brocas as a result of TBI – this sums up the frustration in trying to speak with people “It takes a lot of effort to say a complete sentence so you may remove certain words to make it easier.” So that people understand Brocas, we will look at what the Cleveland Clinic has to say. There is one positive point to Brocas, you become a good listener.

Picower Institute for Learning and Memory (MIT). Commernt: post TBI 30 yrs on, I can identify with this; it seems like agoraphobia entrenched in fear. “Neurons represent individual locations, but together they don’t form a map. But on day 5 they form a map. If you want a map, you need all these neurons to work together in a coordinated ensemble.”
