The greatest interest in the study of aphasia is undoubtedly the question of the localization of disorders of the hand. Since the remarkable discovery of Broca, all the authors have tried to determine the place of the cerebral cortex, the damage of which entails various forms of aphasia, and now this well-grounded study of localization can undoubtedly be considered one of the greatest assets of science. Thanks to the discovery of Broca, the study of aphasia, which until that time had only a scientific and theoretical interest, gained outstanding practical significance.
