越来越多的文献指出小脑在情感处理中的特殊作用。然而，对离散性小脑损伤后的影响加工干扰的理解是有限的。我们对15名小脑梗死患者和10名年龄匹配的对照组进行了Tubingen影响电池评估对情绪面部表情和情绪韵律的识别。在情绪性面部表情任务中，与对照组相比，患者对面部表情的选择和匹配能力受损。在韵律任务中，患者在命名影响和区分不一致方面表现出明显的损伤。这些缺陷在负面影响中更为明显。我们的研究结果证实了小脑在处理情感识别（社会认知的一个组成部分）中的重要作用。
A growing literature points to a specific role of the cerebellum in affect processing. However, understanding of affect processing disturbances following discrete cerebellar lesions is limited. We administered the Tubingen Affect Battery to assess recognition of emotional facial expression and emotional prosody in 15 patients with a cerebellar infarction and 10 age-matched controls. On emotional facial expression tasks, patients compared to controls showed impaired selection and matching of facial affect. On prosody tasks, patients showed marked impairments in naming affect and discriminating incongruencies. These deficits were more pronounced for negative affects. Our results confirm a significant role of the cerebellum in processing emotional recognition, a component of social cognition.
