Wernicke–Geschwind model

an early theory of speech that integrated the roles of the receptive language cortex (Wernicke’s area) and the language production cortex (Broca’s area). Also called Wernicke’s theory. [first suggested in 1874 by Karl Wernicke (1848–1905), German neurologist; revived and then extended by Norman Geschwind (1926–1984), U.S. neuroscientist]
