	The '''Pars opercularis''' is located in the posterior part of Broca's area. It is believed that this area supports only one stimulus mode, rather than multiple modes like the Pars triangularis. This portion of Broca’s area is also believed to coordinate the organs used for speech in order to produce language.		The '''Pars opercularis''' is located in the posterior part of Broca's area.

	Despite the Broca's aphasic's difficulty in putting together sentences, a person with a damaged Broca's area is generally capable of comprehending language without a problem. Sometimes, however, the person may have difficulty with understanding a few words used in a sentence with complex syntax. These people typically have damage only in the posterior part of Broca's area, a condition called ''[[Wernicke’s aphasia]]''. Those suffering from Wernicke’s aphasia may have somewhat normal speech, though it tends to be vague or even meaningless.

-	If Broca's area is damaged, people will usually suffer from a condition called ''[[Broca's aphasia]]''. This condition is also sometimes called ''expressive aphasia'', ''nonfluent aphasia'', or ''motor aphasia''. Broca's aphasia makes people unable to create sentences that are ~~gramatically~~ complex. In addition, the sentences usually contain very few words related to content. Broca's aphasia is characterized by nonfluent speech, few words, short sentences, and many pauses.	+	If Broca's area is damaged, people will usually suffer from a condition called ''[[Broca's aphasia]]''.
