Broca's & Wernicke's
A fascinating study, reported on NPR about how we learn to use language by putting babies in a "hair dryer." Any news report that mentions Broca's and Wernicke's areas gets my vote!

I remember Broca's & Wernicke's (pronounced Vernicky's) areas from psych class. I had to use a pneumonic to keep them straight. Broca rhymes with boca, which is Spanish for mouth. . . so it controls the physical act of speaking. :-)
