However, Gall’s views, which at one time were quite popular, were eventually discarded (Boring, 1950). Paul Broca, a neurologist, postulated that the area of the brain responsible for motor (expressive) speech was located in the left posterior frontal lobe. Broca based this on approximately ten patients who had suffered a loss of speech (expressive aphasia) and were found, on postmortem inspection, to have lesions in this region. Approximately 10 years later, another neurologist, Wernicke, found that damage to the posterior portion of the superior temporal lobe produced another type of disturbance in language processing.
