There is a cooking area where food is prepared, and an eating area where it’s consumed. The production of language (the kitchen) is handled primarily by front (anterior) portions of the left hemisphere, and an area in both humans and animals which deals with 17— movement. Comprehension (the eating area) is dealt with mainly by back (posterior) portions, because this is the area which deals with incoming impressions.
