So this article cropped up about this article which was published about a week ago in Nature. It challenges the notion that there is a specific area of the brain (or specific areas) where language is "stored". A neuroscientist at Stanford University said "these data suggest we need to rethink how the brain organizes meaning."

We edge ever closer to a deeper understanding of the brain and how our brains deal with language.

Interesting. So far, essentially all we knew about this stuff was what could be learnt from Wernicke's aphasia and Broca's aphasia, but I've always figured it was more complex than that.
