Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke provided evidence for the localization of language functions in the brain. Broca identified a region in the left frontal lobe that is responsible for speech production, now known as Broca's area. Wernicke identified a region in the left temporal lobe that is responsible for speech comprehension, now known as Wernicke's area. This supports the idea that there are separate areas of the brain for speech production and for speech comprehension.
