The present study examined the nature of emotion recognition impairments in patients with subcortical brain damage (SBD). Twenty-eight patients with SBD (19 left and 19 right), along with 19 healthy volunteers (HV) were presented with morphed facial photographs and, asked to categorize these photographs according to six basic emotion labels. Patients with SBD categorized these photographs differently from HV and, did not employ certain emotion labels. Only those with right SBD were impaired (relative to HV) in terms of their identification of happiness. These findings provide further support for the role of subcortical brain structures in emotion recognition.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
