What lobes are affected in Wernicke’s and Brocas dysphasia?

Once understood, the signal passes along the arcuate fasciculus, before reaching Broca’s area. The Broca’s area in the frontal lobe (near the mouth) then generates a signal to coordinate the mouth to speak what is thought (fluent speech).
