Neuroscience basic
The nerve-fiber bundle connecting Broca's area and Wernicke's area is the _____.
Answer
arcuate fasciculus
Explanation
### Why this is right
The arcuate fasciculus is identified as the bundle of nerve fibers connecting Broca's and Wernicke's areas. It supports communication between language production and comprehension centers.
### The concept
Brain areas can perform different language functions while remaining connected by pathways. The connection helps coordinate the work of the regions; it is not itself described as a speech-production or comprehension area.
### Terms
- **Arcuate fasciculus**: a nerve-fiber bundle connecting Broca's and Wernicke's areas.
- **Nerve fiber**: a neuron projection that carries signals.
### Remember
The arcuate fasciculus links the two named language areas.
