Respecting the Left Posterior Inferior Frontal Cortex

“New neuroscience research upends traditional cognitive models of reading”
PsyPost

The speech-production area
Engages right away
With “humbug” and “malaria”
And anything we say
On paper page, or post onscreen,
Or scrimshaw on a shell.
So writers, kindly keep it clean.
The brain’s a temple bell.
