Wernicke’s Aphasia
Wernicke’s Aphasia
Background
Aphasia can be defined as a disorder that is caused by damage to parts of the brain that are responsible for language (“Aphasia” n.p.). Wernicke’s aphasia is a type of fluent aphasia (with the other type being nonfluent). It is named after Carl Wernicke who described the disorder as “an amnesiac disorder characterized by fluent but disordered speech, with a similar disorder in writing, and impaired understanding of oral speech and reading” (“Wernicke’s” n.p.). Wernicke’s aphasia can also be known as sensory aphasia, fluent aphasia, or receptive aphasia. It is a type of aphasia that is caused by damage to Wernicke’s area in the brain, in the posterior part of the temporal lobe of the left hemisphere. This area of the brain contains motor neurons responsible for the understanding of spoken language and is believed to be the receptive language center (“Rogers” n.p.). Wernicke’s aphasia can be most efficiently defined as a fluent language disorder commonly caused by strokes and characterized by difficulty comprehending spoken language and producing meaningful speech and writing which is both assessable by an SLP and treatable by a variety of methods.
Etiology
The onset of aphasia is extremely quick. It usually is found in people who have no former history of speech or language problems. The lesion leaves the affected area of the brain unable to function as it did only moments before (Owens 203).Wernicke’s aphasia is caused by damage to Wernicke’s area which can result from head injury, brain tumors, infections, dementia, or the most common cause, stroke. A posterior stroke that is isolated to Wernicke’s area does not result in total weakness of the arm and leg on the opposite ...

This signs of this disorder primarily include difficulty in speaking or expressing oneself, difficulty understanding spoken language, and difficulty with reading and witting. Aphasia is most common among adults who have suffered from a stroke, a brain tumor, head injury, infection, or dementia that has damaged the brain. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders claims that there are an estimated one million people in the United States who are suffering from aphasia. Depending on the severity and the damage to a certain part of the brain will determine which type of aphasia the subject has. Aphasia can be broken down into four categories, (1) expressive aphasia, also known as Broca’s Aphasia, is when the subject has difficulty expressing his/her thoughts through writing and speech. The subject knows what he/she wants to say, but can not express themselves accordingly; (2) Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke’s Aphasia, a subject with this type of aphasia has difficulty understanding spoken language or written language. They can hear and see clearly, they just can not make any sense out of what they hear and see; (3) another kind of aphasia, is amnesia aphasia, which is considered to be the least severe aphasia, is when the subject has difficulty using the correct names for persons, places, events, or certain objects; (4) the last in the category of aphasias, is Global Aphasia, which is the result of a severe and wide areas of areas of the brain that are involved in producing language. Those who suffer from Global Aphasia...

1077 wordsRead More - Loss of Consciousness from Brain Injury Versus Amnesiaexplanatory essayBrain injuries have been traditionally classified as mild, moderate and severe based upon the duration of loss of consciousness and memory. More recently these classifications have been reconsidered based upon the length and severity of amnesia (4).. How can you measure loss of consciousness and memory? How does the length of amnesia better predict the severity of a brain injury versus the traditional method of classifying brain injury based upon the length of loss consciousness? Head trauma is by far the most common cause of amnesia, but the condition often goes unrecognized as patients more serious medical problems become the foremost concern (3).. Traumatic amnesia is brain damage caused by a severe non-penetrative blow to the head, such as in a road accident. It can lead to anything from a loss of consciousness for a few seconds to coma. During post-traumatic amnesia, a patient usually fails to remember not only the accident, but also all information learned for several years before the brain injury. A severe blow to the head is likely to cause loss of consciousness lasting seconds up to months. This state of puzzlement and confusion can pass with time for many cases (1)..

It is a syndrome with a neurological origin and it exists on a spectrum with varying in severity and symptoms. The neurological basis of dyslexia is not well understood, however, research has demonstrated its origin in the left perisylvian area.

Damaging ay part of it could be very dangerous, especially if someone was to damage any part of the left side. The left side of the brain is divided into two areas called the Broca’s area and the Wernicke’s area. If someone were to damage the Broca’s Area, it would result in the loss of words, such as prepositions or articles. For example, instead of a person saying “I saw an elephant.” the person would say “I saw elephant.” If someone were to damage the Wernicke’s area, it would result in trouble with comprehending, repeating words, naming objects, reading, and writing. For example, if a person told someone with Wernicke’s are damage to raise their hand, they may not fully understand what
