“…It is still unclear whether the left VLPFC (lVLPFC) is also essential for, or is just correlated with, social pain relief. The hemispheric asymmetry of emotion processing has been extensively studied over the past decades (see Gainotti, 2019; W. Heller, Nitschke, & Miller, 1998; G. A. Miller, Crocker, Spielberg, Infantolino, & Heller, 2013; Ross, 2021; Shobe, 2014 for reviews). Among various theoretical accounts, the valence hypothesis proposed that negative emotions are modulated by the right hemisphere and positive emotions are modulated by the left hemisphere (G. A. Miller et al, 2013).…”

“…Among various theoretical accounts, the valence hypothesis proposed that negative emotions are modulated by the right hemisphere and positive emotions are modulated by the left hemisphere (G. A. Miller et al, 2013). A recent framework of the emotion‐type hypothesis proposed that primary/nonsocial emotions are modulated by the right hemisphere and social emotions are modulated by the left hemisphere (Ross, 2021). Also, some researchers believed that the right hemisphere is integral to the basic processing of emotions (Gainotti, 2019) whereas the role of the left hemisphere in emotion processing remains contentious (Shobe, 2014).…”

The ventrolateral prefrontal cortices (VLPFC) are crucial regions involved in voluntary emotion regulation. However, the lateralization of the VLPFC in downregulating negative emotions remains unclear; and whether the causal role of the VLPFC is generalizable to upregulating positive emotions is unexplored. This study used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine the causal relationship between the left/right VLPFC and social emotion reappraisal. One hundred and twenty participants were randomly assigned to either active (left and right VLPFC groups, n = 40/40) or sham (vertex, n = 40) TMS groups. Participants were instructed to passively receive social feedback or use reappraisal strategies to positively regulate their emotions. While the subjective emotional rating showed that the bilateral VLPFC facilitated the reappraisal success, the electrophysiological measure of the late positive potential (LPP) demonstrated a more critical role of the right VLPFC on social pain relief (decreased LPP amplitudes) and social reward magnification (enhanced LPP amplitudes). In addition, the influence of emotion regulation on social evaluation was found to be mediated by the memory of social feedback, indicating the importance of memory in social behavioral shaping. These findings suggest clinical protocols for the rehabilitation of emotionregulatory function in patients with affective and social disorders.

“…Ross [ 15 ] advances in his paper the hypothesis that emotions may be classified into primary and social types and that hemispheric lateralization may be better explained by the emotion-type hypothesis, which posits that only primary emotions may be modulated by the right hemisphere, whereas social emotions might be modulated by the left hemisphere and, in particular, by the left prefrontal cortex. This neocortical region matures, indeed, later than other cortical areas and is involved in complex, higher-order, social–emotional, and executive functions.…”

“…The authors hypothesized that tumor infiltration in areas involved with controlling empathy could result in higher self-focus with diminished HRQoL as a result. Several models explain the possible hemispheric lateralization of emotions, for example how primary emotions are controlled by the right hemisphere and social emotion by the left hemisphere 42 . Perhaps these proposed mechanisms could also explain the association between fatigue and tumor laterality.…”

Background: Even though fatigue is one of the most prevalent and burdensome symptoms in patients with glioma, its etiology and determinants are still poorly understood. We aimed to identify which demographic, tumor- and treatment-related characteristics and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are associated with fatigue in glioma, and aimed to find predictors of postoperative fatigue. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we collected data from patients with diffuse glioma who had performed preoperative and postoperative assessments consisting of PROMs on fatigue, depression, cognitive deficits, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Linear mixed models were used to identify which clinical factors and PROMs were associated with fatigue and linear multiple regression was used to find predictors of postoperative fatigue. Results: In this study, 222 glioma patients were included, who had performed 333 assessments (193 preoperative and 116 postoperative). Of all assessments, 39% were indicative of severe fatigue. Several HRQoL domains, depression, and having a right-sided tumor were significantly associated with fatigue (marginal R2 = 0.63). Contrary to common expectations, tumor type, treatment-related factors, the timing of the assessment, and disease status, were not associated with fatigue. In a subgroup of 70 patients with complete follow-up assessments, preoperative fatigue and self-reported physical functioning were predictors of postoperative fatigue (adjusted R2 = 0.31). Conclusion: Fatigue is a complex symptom, which should not solely be attributed to the tumor or its treatment, but is instead related to different aspects of mood and HRQoL. These insights are of importance in understanding fatigue and could guide symptom management.
