The fact that Claire who had a stroke followed by brain damage, has problems communicating because her words do not make sense and she is confused suggests that Claire has damage to her Wernicke's area.

The Wernicke's area is a region of the brain important in language and responsible for the comprehension of speech. When damaged, problems like those of Claire can occur.
