0:00Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.

0:11I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

0:17And now for my discussion with Dr.

0:19Eric Jarvis.

0:20Eric, so great to have you here.

0:22Thank you.

0:24Very interested in learning from you about speech and language.

0:28In terms of the study of speech and language and thinking about how the brain organizes speech and language, what are the similarities?

0:36What are the differences?

0:37How should we think about speech and language?

0:39There really isn't such a sharp distinction.

0:42Let me tell you how some people think of it now, that there's a separate language module in the brain that has all the algorithms and computations that influence the speech pathway on how to produce sound and the auditory pathway on how to perceive and interpret it for speech or for sound that we call speech.
