The present study investigated the role of subcortical brain structures in emotion recognition (ER). Fourteen patients (8 left, 6 right) with subcortical brain damage (SS) and 14 matched healthy volunteers (HV) were administered a brief neuropsychological battery, as well as an ER battery. Patients were impaired on ER with the exception of facial emotion discrimination and tasks involving happy expressions, relative to HV. Results also showed no difference between patients with left- and right-subcortical brain damage in terms of ER. Our findings provide further support for the role of subcortical brain structures and frontal-limbic neural networks in recognizing basic emotions.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
