Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The #4 in the illustration represents the angular gyrus, a structure located in the parietal lobe that is involved in language processing, particularly in the integration of visual, auditory, and somatosensory information. Damage to the angular gyrus can result in language disorders such as alexia (difficulty reading) and agraphia (difficulty writing).
