“…Stimulus identification and recognition of its emotional significance is phylogenetically determined and anchored in specific neurobiological systems including the lateral temporal cortex, median prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, insula, amygdala, basal ganglia, striatum and parietal cortex, among others [1,2,3,4]. Different emotions are likely to be subserved by different neural systems [3,4,5] that are vulnerable to neuropathological changes occurring in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are probably affected at different times and rates [6,7,8,9]. Thus, facial emotion recognition (FER) might be affected with increasing cognitive impairment in AD patients involving different emotions to different degrees.…”
