DRAPEAU, Joanie; GOSSELIN, Nathalie  e  MCKERRA, Michelle. Emotional recognition from face, voice and music following a traumatic brain injury: current state of knowledge. Neuropsicologia Latinoamericana [online]. 2011, vol.3, n.3, pp.25-33. ISSN 2075-9479.  https://doi.org/10.5579/rnl.2011.0075.

Emotional recognition appears to play a key role in relationships. Indeed, the ability to interpret emotions in the environment allows individuals to anticipate certain intentions or situations, and to respond to them in an appropriate fashion. Difficulties in psychosocial functioning (e.g., job loss, disruption of intimate relationships, reduced social network) typically appear following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which may be related to deterioration in emotional recognition. Moreover, some of the most important brain structures for emotional processing are frequently affected in individuals having sustained a TBI, such as frontal and temporal areas, and the limbic system (such as the amygdala and hippocampus). This article aims to put into perspective and to discuss the current knowledge on emotional recognition from faces, voices and music in adults with TBI, as compared to adults without cognitive impairment.
