Presentation Receptive aphasia results from damage to Wernicke's area located posterior to the lateral sulcus in the left hemisphere of the brain. Source: Internet
If Wernicke's area is damaged in the non-dominant hemisphere, the syndrome resulting will be sensory dysprosody—the inability to perceive the pitch, rhythm, and emotional tone of speech. Source: Internet

This subtype has been associated with damage to the posterior left temporal cortex, most notably Wernicke's area. Source: Internet
Wernicke's area is in the left temporal cortex and is primarily involved in language comprehension. Source: Internet
