<Li> Middle temporal gyrus (MTG): lexical semantic processing </Li> <P> The left hemisphere is usually dominant in right - handed people, although bilateral activations are not uncommon in the area of syntactic processing . It is now accepted that the right hemisphere plays an important role in the processing of suprasegmental acoustic features like prosody . </P> <P> Most areas of speech processing develop in the second year of life in the dominant half (hemisphere) of the brain, which often (though not necessarily) corresponds to the opposite of the dominant hand . 98% of right - handed people are left - hemisphere dominant, and the majority of left - handed people as well . </P> <P> The differentiation of speech production into only two large sections of the brain (i.e. Broca's and Wernicke's areas), accepted long before the advent of medical imaging techniques, is now considered outdated . Broca's Area was first suggested to play a role in speech function by the French neurologist and anthropologist Paul Broca in 1861 . The basis for this discovery was analysis of speech problems resulting from injuries to this region of the brain, located in the inferior frontal gyrus . Lesions to Broca's Area resulted primarily in disruptions to speech production . Damage to Wernicke's Area, which is located in the lower part of the temporal lobe, lead mainly to disruptions in speech reception . This area was named for German doctor Carl Wernicke, who discovered it in 1874 in the course of his research into aphasias (loss of ability to speak). </P>
