Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paul Broca identified naturally occurring lesions during his research on language and the brain in the 19th century, specifically in a patient who had lost the ability to speak but could still understand language. He found a lesion in the left frontal lobe and concluded that this area was crucial for language production. This discovery led to the naming of this area as "Broca's area."
