“…In addition, infant crying activated the anterior and posterior cingulate cortices in mothers (Lorberbaum et al, 1999;Lorberbaum et al, 2002). The ability to identify an emotion from prosodic cues is often impaired in neurological patients with rightbrain damage (Ross, Thompson, & Yenkosky, 1997) and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia , alcoholism (Monnot, Nixon, Lovallo, & Ross, 2001), depression (Emerson, Harrison, & Everhart, 1999), and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (Manassis, Tannock, & Barbosa, 2000).…”

Hearing others’ pain: neural activity related to empathy

The human voice is one of the principal conveyers of social and affective communication. Recent neuroimaging studies have suggested that observing pain in others activates neural representations similar to those from the first-hand experience of pain; however, studies on pain expressions in the auditory channel are lacking. We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging study to examine brain responses to emotional exclamations of others' pain. The control condition comprised positive (e.g., laughing) or negative (e.g., snoring) stimuli of the human voice that were not associated with pain and suffering. Compared to these control stimuli, pain-related exclamations elicited increased activation in the superior and middle temporal gyri, left insula, secondary somatosensory cortices, thalamus, and right cerebellum, as well as deactivation in the anterior cingulate cortex. The left anterior insular and thalamic activations correlated significantly with the Empathic Concern subscale of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Thus, the brain regions involved in hearing others' pain are similar to those activated in the empathic processing of visual stimuli. Additionally, the findings emphasise the modulating role of interindividual differences in affective empathy.

“…Keywords alcoholism; aging; Korsakoff's syndrome; emotion; neurobehavioral disorders Emotional changes that accompany long-term chronic alcoholism cover a broad spectrum (National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1997) and have significant social and interpersonal significance (Kornreich et al, 2002). Among the abnormalities are affective processing deficits such as a diminished ability to recognize facial expressions of emotion (Howard, Oscar-Berman, Marinkovic, O'Reilly, & Harris, 2003;Kornreich et al, 2002;Philippot et al, 1999;Townshend & Duka, 2003) and reduced ability to decipher affective prosody in spoken language (Monnot, Nixon, Lovallo, & Ross, 2001).

This study sought to differentiate alcoholism-related changes in judgments of emotional stimuli from those of other populations in which such changes have been documented. Two sets of visual stimuli, one containing words and the other containing drawings of faces (representing a range of emotional content), were presented to abstinent alcoholic adults with and without Korsakoff's syndrome, as well as to a healthy control group and four groups of patients with other neurobehavioral disorders: Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Participants rated the stimuli according to emotional valence and intensity of emotion. Results implicated bi-hemispheric frontal and subcortical involvement in the abnormalities of emotion identification associated with alcoholism, and they also support the notion of age-related vulnerabilities in conjunction with alcoholism.

Brain changes associated with these deficits include pathology of frontosubcortical and limbic systems or disturbances in the functioning of the right hemisphere (Bowirrat & Oscar-Berman, 2005;. For example, it has been suggested that alcoholic individuals' tendencies to overestimate facial emotions could be related to interference with frontally mediated disinhibition proces...

“…Os usuários de cocaína têm problemas de supressão das atividades neurotransmissoras, podendo ser vítimas de depressão, paranoia e irritabilidade. Já o abuso de álcool pode acarretar mudanças de personalidade e de comportamento, que prejudicam as interações sociais e pessoais, destacando--se a negligência, a impulsividade, a falta de empatia e controle emocional, sintomas esses que aumentariam o risco de conduta agressiva (Brun & Andersson, 2001;Laranjeira et al, 2005;Minayo & Deslandes, 1998;Mitchell, Fields, D´Esposito & Boettiger, 2005;Monnot, Nixon, Lovallo & Ross, 2001;Sanceverino & Abreu, 2004).…”
