Révision de la question de l’aphasie; la troisième circonvolution frontale gauche ne joue aucun rôle spécial dans la fonction du langage.

Publication Details

Sem. méd. (Paris), 26, 241-47. 1906 CE.

Marie disputed Broca’s claim that the third left frontal convolution of the brain is the speech center. He classified aphasia into three groups: anarthria (defects of articulation), Broca’s (motor) aphasia, and Wernicke’s (sensory) aphasia.

See Pierre Marie's Papers on Speech Disorders. Compiled and Translated by Merritt Frindel Cole and Monroe Cole.  New York: Hafner, 1971.
