− | {{w|Broca's area}} is a region of the brain whose functions are linked to speech. It is not a measurement of area in the sense of length times width. The measurement shown here purports to be the area of {{w|Paul Broca}}, which probably refers to the {{w|Body surface area|surface area of his body}} - about 1.7-1.8 m<sup>2</sup> for a typical adult. This area was recently mentioned in the title text of [[2732: Bursa of Fabricius]]. | + | {{w|Broca's area}} is a region of the brain whose functions are linked to speech.
