Broca's aphasia

Biology; Neuroscience

Difficulty producing speech as a result of damage to Broca's area in the left frontal lobe.

conduction aphasia

Biology; Neuroscience

Difficulty producing speech as a result of damage to the connection between Wernicke’s and Broca’s language areas.

dysarthria

Biology; Neuroscience

Difficulty producing speech as a result of damage to the primary motor centers that govern the muscles of articulation; distinguished from aphasia, which results from cortical damage.

Diminished sense of hearing due reduced ability of sounds to be mechanically transmitted to the inner ear. Common causes include occlusion of the ear canal, perforation of the tympanic membrane, and ...

sensorineural hearing loss

Biology; Neuroscience

Diminished sense of hearing due to damage of the inner ear or its related central auditory structures. Contrast with conductive hearing loss.

amblyopia

Biology; Neuroscience

Diminished visual acuity as a result of the failure to establish appropriate visual cortical connections in early life.

vergence movements

Biology; Neuroscience

Disjunctive movements of the eyes (convergence or divergence) that align the fovea of each eye with targets located at different distances from the observer.
