12[blank_start]Geschwind's[blank_end] structural model of left hemisphere language functions is as follows. Spoken language is perceived in [blank_start]left auditory cortex[blank_end] and transferred to [blank_start]Wernicke's area[blank_end]. The meaning of the words activated there are then transferred to the arcuate fasciculous which then sends auditory codes to Broca's area. This auditory code activates muscle actions to pronounce words, which motor cortex coordinates the delivery of. Written words are seen by the visual cortex and transfer to the [blank_start]angular gyrus[blank_end] which maps the auditory code in Wernicke's area and retracts meaning.
