In conduction aphasia, the lesion is in the arcuate fasciculus. This is the white matter found between Wernicke's and Broca's area. Comprehension is preserved but fluency is slightly reduced. However, repetition is severely impaired.

Receptive aphasia, otherwise known as Wernicke’s aphasia, is caused by a lesion in the superior temporal gyrus. It is characterised by impaired comprehension with preserved fluency. The content of their speech is often incoherent, filled with neologisms, and may lack proper grammar and syntax. In some cases, people with Wernicke's aphasia may produce what appears to be a "word salad." To remember it **W**ernicke's is **W**ordy but makes no sense or **W**ernicke's= "**W**hat?".

Dysarthria
QuestionChoice
Expressive aphasia occurs from a lesion in Broca's area which is located in the inferior frontal gyrus in the dominant hemisphere. Comprehension is persevered but fluency is impaired. Patients would know what they want to say but cannot articulate it. To remember it **B**rocas's **B**roken **B**oca.

A 74-year-old male presents to A&E with his wife complaining of speech difficulties. His wife informs you that when he is speaking, he no longer makes sense. The patient can speak fluently but answers inappropriately to questions and is easily frustrated due to no one understanding him.

What type of aphasia is the patient experiencing?
