In this episode, Dr. O'Leary discusses a word that he has struggled to understand since medical school. The word is aphasia. The root “phasia” comes from the Greek phanai which means “to speak.” When aphasia is used medically, it refers to an inability to speak, although not always. More generally it is often used to mean a failure to understand or produce language, but it gets complicated. Dr. O'Leary reviews the brain regions responsible for various kinds of aphasia and how to identity them.
