This big sweep or wave of colour is based on the brain's language pathway. The lower right area is associated with understanding and the upper left with the production of language. If this pathway is damaged or compromised at all by a stroke then problems with speaking, comprehension, reading and writing can occur - the umbrella term for these is Aphasia.
