Wernicke's area, located in the left hemisphere of the brain for most people, is responsible for language comprehension and understanding spoken words. It is important for our ability to listen and process incoming auditory information. Korsakoff's area is not a brain region related to language, but rather refers to a memory disorder. Broca's area is involved in language production, specifically the physical production of speech sounds. Sach's area is not a recognized brain region.
