Atypical right hemispheric functioning in the euthymic state of bipolar affective disorder

“…Using the same prosodic and linguistic dichotic listening tasks as in the present study, a similar reduced LEA in the prosodic task has been found in healthy males who are high in impulsive nonconformity, a hypomanic-related personality trait (Najt et al, 2013). Healthy subjects with low impulsive non-conformity scores showed the typical LEA in this task.…”

Facial emotion recognition in Parkinson's disease: A review and new hypotheses

“…Furthermore, FER deficit could also be linked to motor asymmetries in PD, but the question of whether patients with left‐dominant motor symptoms (LPD) showing relatively greater neural degeneration in the right hemisphere have a more severe deficit than patients with right‐dominant motor symptoms remains open. LPD patients could be more likely to show FER impairments considering the relatively greater role of the right hemisphere in FER (at least for anger, fear, and sadness) and the prominence of visuospatial deficits in LPD patients 85, 86. Last, since the earliest studies, emotional disorders in PD concern both expression and recognition, and some authors have even reported positive correlations between facial expression and FER impairment 17, 37, 87, 88, 89.…”

A leftward bias however you look at it: Revisiting the emotional chimeric face task as a tool for measuring emotion lateralization

“…As previously described, the visual half-field paradigm has offered differential support for both Right Hemisphere and Valence-Specific Models (Najt et al, 2013). As Najt and colleagues point out, however, visual half-field studies have not always addressed potential language confounds.…”

“…The view that all emotions are preferentially processed by the right hemisphere independent of valence -the Right Hemisphere Hypothesis (e.g. Borod et al, 1998) -is still supported by more recent visual half-field studies (for reviews, see Mandal & Ambady, 2004;Najt, Bayer, & Hausmann, 2013). However, some research has led to alternative, and currently debated models (Abbott, Cumming, Fidler, & Lindell, 2013;Killgore & Yurgelun-Todd, 2007), describing the laterality of emotional processing: the Valence-Specific Hypothesis, that positive expressions (i.e.…”

“…Reuter-Lorenz & Davidson, 1981;Reuter-Lorenz, Givis, & Moscovitch, 1983). Indeed, in their recent review Najt et al (2013) concluded that only a subset of negative emotions (anger, fear, and sadness) display any consistent laterality pattern, all in favour of the right hemisphere. Such a conflict may result from the different nature of the tasks: in comparison to the free-viewing conditions of the ECFT, stimuli in visual half-field tasks are presented extrafoveally in either the left or right visual field for very brief periods of around 150 ms (Bourne, 2006).…”
