Wernicke's aphasia (also known as fluent aphasia) is a type of aphasia in which significant damage has been done to Wernicke's area in the posterior superior temporal gyrus of a person's dominant hemisphere. It was first discovered by Carl Wernicke and knowledge was significantly advanced by Norman Geschwind.
