Introduction:

Brain is the major control site of most of the life activities. It is separated by three parts, namely cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The major part of the brain is the cerebrum. There is a deep longitudinal fissure that separates the cerebrum to form two cerebral hemispheres. Cerebrum has Broca area and Wernicke area in the cortex region, which is responsible for several language abilities.
