By analyzing brain scans from 772 people, MIT researchers have identified 17 additional language-responsive regions in the brain, reports The Dallas Express (DX). “For decades, scientists have focused on regions such as Broca’s area and areas of the left frontal and temporal lobes as the brain’s primary language-processing centers,” writes DX. “The new study found that language-responsive regions are also located in other parts of the brain, including the cerebellum, hippocampus, amygdala, medial frontal cortex, and temporal lobe.”
