Music is clearly different from language. People can nevertheless use it to communicate things - especially their emotions - and when allied with speech in a song it is one of the most powerful means of communication that humans have. But what biologically speaking is it If music is truly distinct from speech then it ought to have a distinct processing mechanism in the brain - one that keeps it separate from the interpretation of other sounds including language. The evidence suggests that such a separate mechanism does indeed exist. Scientific curiosity about the auditory system dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1861 Paul Broca a French surgeon observed that speech was impaired by damage to a particular part of the brain now known as Broca s area. In 1874 Carl Wernicke a German neurologist made a similar observation about another brain area and was similarly immortalised. The location of different language-processing tasks in Broca s areas found in the brain s left temporal lobe above the ear was one of the first pieces of evidence that different bits of the brain are specialised to do different jobs. a Music needs words in order to become a truly effective means of communication. b Scientists are still looking for a way to show that the brain processes music and language separately. c Paul Broca attempted to distinguish the processing mechanisms of music and language. d The work of Broca and Wernicke marked the beginning of research into the brain and its role in the production of language.
