Channels of Emotional Expression in Patients With Unilateral Brain Damage

Widespread and lateralized social brain activity for processing dynamic facial expressions

“…Cortical right hemispheric dominance in the processing of dynamic facial expressions is consistent with the findings of lesion studies indicating that patients with right hemisphere damage are less emotionally reactive during face-to-face communication than those with left hemisphere damage (Blonder et al, 1993;Borod et al, 1985;Langer et al, 1998;Ross & Mesulam, 1979). The results were also consistent with several findings indicating that patients with right, compared with left, hemisphere damage are more severely impaired in the recognition of emotions in dynamic facial expressions (Benowitz et al, 1983;Karow et al, 2011;Schmitt et al, 1997).…”

Affective facial and lexical expression in aprosodic versus aphasic stroke patients

“…682 L.X. Blonder et al and loss of facial expressivity in RHD patients, although this study and previous work by Borod et al (1985) suggest that they tend to co-occur. Moreover, we lack the neuroimaging data to enable us to map the specific brain regions in the right hemisphere that are associated with expressive aprosody and loss of facial expression.…”

Language and affective facial expression in children with perinatal stroke

“…In contrast to the profile for early language, the few studies on emotion with infants and toddlers with PS (e.g., Nass & Koch, 1987; Reilly, Stiles, Larsen, & Trauner, 1995) have shown that the site of injury is associated with differential profiles of expressiveness and emotionality. Moreover, the infant profile is similar to that of adults with late onset strokes (Borod, Koff, Lorch, & Nicholas, 1985; Borod et al, 1998). To better understand the nature of neuroplasticity in the developing brain, the present study investigates language and emotional expression in young school age children with PS.…”

“…In the late nineteenth century Hughlings Jackson (1874, 1880) observed the sparing of emotional words in aphasics, and Mills (1912) suggested a link between the right hemisphere and emotion processing as emotional expression was reduced when lesions were localized within the right hemisphere. More recently, studies from Borod et al (1985, 1998) and Blonder et al (1993, 2005) pinpoint the right hemisphere in emotional processing as individuals with RHI had flatter affect while this pattern was not observed in individuals with LHI.…”
