Carl Wernicke was born on 1848-05-15.

Carl Wernicke, a German neurologist, is known for identifying a brain region involved in understanding language known as Wernicke's area. His research on brain lesions and their impact on language processing laid the foundation for our understanding of brain mechanics behind speech comprehension and production. Wernicke's work significantly advanced the field of neuropsychology and contributed to our understanding of language disorders such as aphasia.

The Wernicke's area is the part of the brain where the understanding of spoken language takes place. This function was discovered by and named for neurologist Carl Wernicke.

Carl Wernicke, a German neurologist, discovered the brain area involved in understanding written and spoken language known as Wernicke's area, located in the temporal lobe. This area is crucial for language comprehension and processing.
