Autobiographical memory: Influence of right hemisphere damage on emotionality and specificity

Impaired emotional autobiographical memory associated with right amygdalar-hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease patients

“…Concerning the hemispheric lateralization, we found a preferential involvement of the right amygdala, which is consistent with previous results: patients with MTL damage in the right hemisphere including the amygdala produce AbMs that are impoverished in their emotional content (Cimino et al, 1991 ; Buchanan et al, 2006 ). This hemispheric laterality for emotional processing was also found during intracarotid amobarbital procedures (Ahern et al, 1991 ; Ross et al, 1994 ) and was confirmed by neuroimaging studies (Fink et al, 1996 ; Markowitsch et al, 2000 ; Demaree et al, 2005 ).…”

Neural response to sad autobiographical recall and sad music listening post recall reveals distinct brain activation in alpha and gamma bands

“…Results also show right hemisphere lateralization for the alpha2 band as expected, in line with earlier findings of right hemisphere dominants for negative memories [40][41][42][43][44]. However, we obtained left hemisphere lateralization for the alpha1 band.…”

Make a lasting impression: The neural consequences of re‐encountering people who emote inappropriately

“…Moreover, emotion perception studies also find a right hemispheric dominance (e.g., Lane, Kivley, 1576 A.P. Bayliss et al du Bois, Shamasundara, & Schwartz, 1995), as do neuropsychological studies of emotional memory (e.g., Cimino, Verfaellie, Bowers, & Heilman, 1991). Hence, the current findings add to the apparent dominance of the right hemisphere in social cognitive processes.…”
