Atypical Development

It is said that a right specialization of planum temporale "could be interrupting or impeding information flow between Wernickes and Broca's, which are on the left hemisphere." I would think that there information flow would take longer but wouldn't really be impeded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.187.247.134 (talk) 03:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wernicke's Area

My impression is that Wernicke's area is defined more functionally, rather than physically, and at any rate is usually more associated with supramarginal gyrus than with planum temporale.

I was always taught that the planum temporale is the dorsal aspect of the temporal lobe (planum == plateau, temporale == temporal), plain and simple --not just the part that's caudal to Heschel's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.190.103 (talk) 02:16, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
