韦尼克区

Wernicke's area韦尼克区(又称威尼克区、沃尼克区)是大脑写中枢,视觉性语言中枢,是神经心理学重要学术名词。在心理语言学领域也多有提及。
In 1874, a young German Carl Wernicke found another different area of the left hemisphere now known as Wernicke’s area. The damage to Wernick’s area will result in speech comprehension deficit.1874年,一个叫韦尼克的年轻德国人发现了左半球还有另一个重要的语言区域,有着控制语言理解的技能。现在该区域就叫做韦尼克区。大脑中韦尼克区受伤会产生严重的理解力缺失。
韦尼克区包括颞上回、颞中回后部、缘上回以及角回。韦尼克区的损伤将产生严重的感觉性失语症。
韦尼克区失语症的通俗的概括:
Wernick's aphasia is a disorder named for Carl Wernicke, who identified it in the 1870s. Wernick's aphasia produces difficulties both in understanding others' speech and in the production of language. The disorder is characterized by speech that sounds fluent but makes no sense. For instance, one patient, asked what brought him to a hospital, gave this rambling reply: "Boy, I'm sweating, I'm awful nervous, you know, once in a while I get caught up, I can't mention the tarripoi, a month ago, quite a little, I've done a lot well, I impose a lot, while, on the other hand, you know what I mean, I have to run around, look it over, trebbin and all that sort of stuff" (Gardner, 1975, p.68).

韦尼克失语症是由德国神经学家卡尔·韦尼克在19世纪70年代发现、并以他的名字命名的一种疾病。韦尼克失语症造成了患者理解和产生语言的双重困难。这个疾病的典型症状就是患者说的话听起来很流利但实际上却没有任何意思。举例说明:当一个韦尼克区失语症病人被问及为什么送他来医院时,他给出了如下的回答:“孩子,我在出汗,我非常紧张,你知道,有一次我被抓了起来,我不能提及那个tarripoi,一个月以前,只有一点点,我很好地完成了很多事情,我强加了很多,然而,在另一方面,你知道我的意思,我不得不逃来逃去,仔细检查,trebbin和其他类似的材料。
