Broca's
Left frontal region
Broca's refers to structures in the brain named after French physician Paul Broca.
Broca's area is a region in the left frontal lobe involved in speech production.
Broca's aphasia is a condition where damage to this area impairs the ability to speak fluently while comprehension remains relatively intact: After the stroke, he developed Broca's aphasia and struggled to form sentences.
