Answer to Question 1

Answer: The most common source is the study of persons who have experienced brain damage caused by cell death after obstruction of blood vessels within the brain. Language mechanisms can be studied using electrical stimulation of brain tissue accomplished using depth electrodes under local anesthesia for seizure patients. Functional imaging devices allow for the study of language processes in normal and brain-damaged persons. Transcranial magnetic stimulation allows for the temporary inactivation of cortex to assess impact on speech production and comprehension as well as writing.
