In this case the change in color meant that there was a significant decrease in that part of the brain.

Without a functioning Broca’s area, you cannot put your thoughts and feelings into words.

The most generous word of all. Memory. To retain, a geyser of felicity. Intelligence. The agonizing poverty of my mind. Words and ideas flitting in and out like butterflies. My brain a dandelion seed blown in the wind.
