تعریف و معنای "Wernicke’s aphasia"

What is "Wernicke’s aphasia"?

Wernicke's aphasia is a language disorder that occurs due to damage to Wernicke's area in the brain, typically located in the left hemisphere. Individuals with this condition often have difficulty understanding spoken and written language, which can lead to significant challenges in communication. While their speech may be fluent and grammatically correct, it often lacks meaningful content, resulting in sentences that may be nonsensical or irrelevant. This can make it difficult for others to understand what they are trying to convey. Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia may also struggle to recognize their own communication difficulties. Treatment often involves speech and language therapy to help improve comprehension and meaningful expression.
