Yes. Dejerine referred to the "language quadrant" - a vertical core of
brain including neocortex, as well as underlying strutures both limbic,
thalamic, and brain stem nuclei That is of course the trouble with terms
like language and so forth: they cinclude the whole brain, when define
dwidely enough. Nevertheless, it is fruitful to break language into its
constituent parts..
