Broca's area, located in the left frontal cortex, is responsible for the production of language. Damage to this area can result in difficulty producing words, also known as expressive or motor aphasia. The patient's understanding of language suggests that Wernicke's area, responsible for language comprehension, is likely intact. The angular gyrus and visual cortex are not directly involved in language production.
