Re-examining Paul Broca’s initial presentation of M. Leborgne: Understanding the impetus for brain and language research
Mysterious “Monsieur Leborgne”: The Mystery of the Famous Patient in the History of Neuropsychology is Explained
  • C. Domanski
  • Medicine
    Journal of the history of the neurosciences
  • 2013
TLDR
The patient's full identity and social background has remained a mystery until now and biographical data concerning Leborgne and his family is presented based on archive registers in France.
The Long View of Language Localization
TLDR
Examination of various interpretations of this case reveals the assumptions regarding the functional architecture of language processing and more general theoretical considerations of how evidence from cases of acquired neurogenic aphasia can be employed in developing such models.

Neuropsychology as a Method of Diagnosis and Treatment of Internet Addiction
TLDR
The electrophysiological brain characteristics of addicted users are detected and recorded to provide significant insights on how neuropsychology can be used in an effort to deal with the phenomenon of internet addiction.
Brain matters…in social sciences
TLDR
It is argued that social scientists should read, and be enabled to understand, primary sources of evidence in cognitive neuroscience, and to reflect upon the resonance that their work may have across the social sciences and to facilitate a mutually enriching interdisciplinary dialogue.

Broca’s Aphasiacs
TLDR
Paul Broca’s famous patient, M. Leborgne, was described to the Anthropological Society of Paris and his case was published in the Bulletin de la Société Anatomique, in 1861, which confirmed his localization of language.
A reappraisal of the controversy of Dax and Broca.
TLDR
The weight of evidence reported here suggests that the theory of the left hemisphere dominance for speech must be attributed equally to Dax and Broca, and henceforth should be called 'the theory of Dax-Broca'.
Broca aphasia
TLDR
The findings suggest that infarction affecting the Broca area and its immediate environs, even deep into the brain, causes a mutism that is replaced by a rapidly improving dyspraxic and effortful articulation, but that no significant disturbance in language function persists.
The battle for Broca’s region
Early theory and research on hemispheric specialization.
TLDR
The studies of Paul Broca, John Hughlings-Jackson, and others on hemisphere specialization are described and some of the proposed explanations for the phenomenon are reviewed.
