Wernicke's Aphasia and Broca's Aphasia

Learn about Wernicke's Aphasia this week with some added info on Broca's Aphasia. Do you know someone with aphasia? Maybe they had a stroke and no longer communicate as well? It is possible they have aphasia. As it turns out, there are many different kinds of aphasia and it takes an expert to tell them apart and aid in improving communication.

I do have Aphasia. I suffered from a brain stroke in March 2020. In the beginning I totally did not understand what is going where people are talking to you. There is frustration and unexplained from the beginning and even agressive behaviour happenings to me. As I lived single (after 3 days of a brainstroke) I understood I needed help and went to a hospital.
I was very lucky ! After now (Aug. '20) I do know and understand what people talk to me (slightly), but only quick or fluently as a "normal" person. I was hope and follow intensively (2 days/week) logopedics (and still on). The training specifically focus (on myself) to dialogue (spoken) as I can read and write perfectly other people. Only.... the structural phrases loose parts of a complete sentence. (like as sentence/phrase : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (=OK) part 1, 2, 3...5, ...(Misses part/gap to make it to understand complete). My question what form of Aphasia due to I have ?

I studied aphasia from a language and linguistics perspective at university. Was trying to explain the Wernicke / Broca difference to someone - unsuccessfully - until I searched YouTube and came across your video. Crystal clear to them now. Great explanation.

I'm studying for the MCAT and these are by far the best explanations of aphasia I've seen yet!

[GerryMoloney]

How beautifully presented and explained. Fantastic. How lucky are your patients!!

[boiledelephant]

Stephen King's book Duma Key deals in part with the recovery process from aphasia, it introduced me to this subject. He captures well how frustrating it must be.

Part of what helped me with my fathers wernicke aphasia is the cadence and inflection of the speech. if he wants something it sounds different than when he tells a joke or story.

Great content! I understand the difference between broca's aphasia vs wernicke's aphasia, that broca's aphasia is associated with deficits in speech production and wernicke's aphasia is associated with deficits in the cogency of speech. Can you elaborate a bit more on the extent to which a person with wernicke's aphasia understands dialog? Assumably their ability to hear and process sound is intact - does this mean that while what the patient says is incomprehensible, the patient is capable of understanding everything being said by another person?

Thank you, Eugene. The video is very clear.

[amandaa]

[StarOasis]

[kferko]

Thank you for explaining both of the Aphasia. As I had a stroke two years ago and had my brain open twice. I want to learn more about Aphasia in my city in Victoria BC Canada. Please show more video's as it is great.

Knowing about things like this makes me glad I just have stuttering, so my only problem is physically moving my mouth to say things (sometimes I think of learning sign language, problem is that most people don't understand sign language - so that won't help much). Imagine not being able to comprehend words, at all. What does that feel like on the inside, can you still think using language? Would you be able to read a math equation, since it's still written in a mathematical language? Brain injuries are scary, I think I would rather die than have something like a stroke or Alzheimer's, having a part of me still perceiving things without being able to grasp what any of them mean.

I’m 34 now. I just learned this word last week. And just before I learned it, I had scheduled performance review with the owner of the company at my job so I can get a raise. I walked it, he asked “hey, so what can I help you with?” Before I knew I thought “fuck my brain is kicking my ass right now” and I can’t get out what I needed to say. I should have immediately said. “Well this is supposed to be my performance review so what can you tell me?” But I didn’t. My mind went blank and I tried to gather my thoughts. I felt stuck. So the meeting ended with “let me look at the numbers and I’ll get back to you.” He can look at those numbers all he wants because my work is always done and on time. But I will bring it up again because I always do for all of the raises I’ve received working in this company over the years.

Hi, I've always felt that I'm half Marilou-Henner-Brain and half Aphasia, absolutely everything is stored somewhere but accessing it is very sporadic and visually dependent. I've been learning sign for the last four months and felt exactly as you were describing when trying to communicate visually with a fluent Deaf person. I'm extremely visual to begin with so the interaction completely overloaded me. I'll do better after gaining some experience, but in that first interaction every detail was just flooding at me to the point that I couldn't process it in the moment.
