What happens when a single brain lesion changes everything we know about language? In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking story of Patient Tan, a man who could only utter a single word but changed neuroscience forever. Learn how 19th-century neurologist Paul Broca discovered the region of the brain responsible for speech and what Tan's condition—Broca’s aphasia—teaches us about the intricate connection between the brain and behavior.
