While the two hemispheres of the brain are almost identical, there are differences between the two hemispheres.

2
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:15.000
Some structures and their functions are found online one side of the brain.

3
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:27.000
For example, two areas of the brain that are very important for language, Broca’s area in the frontal lobe and Wernicke’s area in the temporal lobe, are in the left hemisphere for most of us.

4
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:33.000
Broca’s area is located in the left frontal lobe.

5
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:38.000
It is involved in controlling the motor ability to produce speech.

6
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:47.000
Wernicke’s area is located in the left temporal lobe. It is involved in language comprehension.

7
00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:58.000
The angular gyrus is found in both hemispheres,
 but is is only involved in language on the left hemisphere.

8
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:03.000
It supports reading by translating written language into an auditory code.
