慢性内侧颞叶癫痫(MTLE)患者在评估情绪或社会能力的不同任务中可能会受到损害。特别是，面部情绪的识别可能会受到影响(梅莱蒂·S、Benuzzi F、Rubboli G等人)。神经病学2003；60：426-31。Meletti S.Benuzzi F，Canalupo G.Rubboli G，Tassinari CA，Nichelli P.癫痫2009；50：1547-59)。为了更好地了解MTLE患者情绪识别缺陷的本质，我们研究了41名患者在视觉(面部表情)和听觉(情绪韵律)领域对基本情绪的解码。结果显示，在面部和声音情感表达的识别方面存在缺陷，这两个任务的表现之间存在很强的相关性。情绪识别与生活质量量表(QOLIE-31)和抑郁(贝克抑郁量表)之间没有显著的相关性，除了韵律识别与智商之间的弱相关外。这些数据表明，MTLE的情绪识别障碍并不依赖于情绪刺激传递的感觉通道。此外，这些发现支持这样一种观点，即情绪处理至少在一定程度上独立于认知智力的衡量标准。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Patients with chronic medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) can be impaired in different tasks that evaluate emotional or social abilities. In particular, the recognition of facial emotions can be affected (Meletti S, Benuzzi F, Rubboli G, et al. Neurology 2003;60:426-31. Meletti S. Benuzzi F, Cantalupo G. Rubboli G, Tassinari CA, Nichelli P. Epilepsia 2009;50:1547-59). To better understand the nature of emotion recognition deficits in MTLE we investigated the decoding of basic emotions in the visual (facial expression) and auditory (emotional prosody) domains in 41 patients. Results showed deficits in the recognition of both facial and vocal expression of emotions, with a strong correlation between performances across the two tasks. No correlation between emotion recognition and measures of IQ quality of life (QOLIE-31), and depression (Beck Depression Inventory) was significant, except for a weak correlation between prosody recognition and IQ. These data suggest that emotion recognition impairment in MTLE is not dependent on the sensory channel through which the emotional stimulus is transmitted. Moreover, these findings support the notion that emotional processing is at least partly independent of measures of cognitive intelligence. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
