El Area del Lenguaje Articulado, Perspectiva Historica y Denominacion Eponima Equivoca: Entre Dax y Broca/Articulated Language Area, Historical Perspective and Erroneous Epomy: Between Dax and Broca

El termino eponimo area de Broca corresponde a una region cortical cerebral humana dedicada a la expresion del lenguaje oral y que no siempre se ubica en el giro frontal inferior del lobo frontal en el hemisferio izquierdo. Al estudiar 25 articulos del ano 2022 y 25 libros de ensenanza de la neuroanatomia, neurofisiologia, neurociencia o areas asociadas del presente siglo, se establecio y cuantifico la existencia del termino area de Broca encontrandose que en los libros habia un 96 % de inclusion eponima sobre esta area cortical cerebral y en articulos de revista existia un 100 % del mismo eponimo, ademas, en ninguno de los libros y articulos se encontro un eponimo diferente. Aunque a lo largo del tiempo, en las ciencias medicas se han usado eponimos para designar estructuras anatomicas como en el caso para tratar de designar el area del cerebro que genera el lenguaje oral, este termino no proporciona ninguna informacion descriptiva ni funcional, lo que equivale a un desatino en la logica del pensamiento morfologico actual, ademas que lleva a confusion, pues hace pensar que su descubrimiento inicial fue dado por Broca, equivocando el conocimiento historico que vincula a Marc Dax como el primero en descubrir esta zona. PALABRAS CLAVE: Area de Broca; Eponimos; Historia; Terminologia Anatomica; Neuroanatomia. The eponymous Broca's area is a human cerebral cortical region that controls the expression of oral language, and which is not always located in the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe in the left hemisphere. In a study of 25 articles published in 2022, and 25 teaching books on neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroscience or associated areas, it was found that the term Broca's area was established and quantified. In books there was a 96 % eponymous inclusion of this cerebral cortical area and in journal articles there was 100 % of the same eponym. Furthermore, no other eponyms were found in any of the books and articles. Although over time, eponyms have been used in medical sciences to identify anatomical structures, as in the designation of the area in the brain that controls oral language, this term does not provide any descriptive or functional information. The result is contradictory to current morphological thought and also leads to confusion, erroneously suggesting that the initial discovery was made by Broca, when in fact Marc Dax was the first to discover this area some 30 years earlier.
