Abstract

This chapter reviews the real neural networks for language and episodic memory. It weaves the existing knowledge of the episodic memory into an analysis of how the two arguments of the logical operators are bound together by correlation. It discusses a model of the neurological organization of the human linguistic ability, known as the Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind boxological model. This model organizes speech into three cerebral centers: (1) an acoustic center that is in charge of the perception of speech, located in Wernicke's region, (2) a concept center which is assumed to store the meaning of words and to be involved in their encoding and decoding, and (3) a motor center which is responsible for the articulation of speech, located in the Broca's region. Lichtheim reported the existence of such speech impairment due to lesions of the arcuate fasciculus. Patients with a lesion in white matter, which connects the Wernicke's and Broca's regions, show conduction aphasia. It is characterized by fluent speech and normal comprehension.
