Ventral Language Pathway

The Ventral Language Pathway is a white matter tract in the human brain that serves as a critical neural substrate for language comprehension, distinguished from dorsal language pathways by its predominant role in mapping speech sounds to meaning through connections between the posterior superior temporal sulcus and the inferior frontal gyrus via the extreme capsule and uncinate fasciculus.
