“…As authors who assessed cognitive abilities used different tests measuring different aspects of executive function, no consistent conclusion could be drawn regarding the link between cognitive impairement and FER in PD 21, 32, 36, 45, 48, 56, 94. In recent studies,21, 22, 26, 29, 45, 95 however, an FER deficit was confirmed among patients after controlling for cognitive symptoms (including working memory and attention processes) but seemed to be influenced by their magnitude.…”

“…Indeed, about 30% of the reviewed studies did not examine its effect on the recognition of specific emotions but calculated an overall score encompassing all the displayed emotions 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. Moreover, authors did not manipulate the same set of stimuli, and some only used a small subset 23, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35.…”

Facial emotion recognition in Parkinson's disease: A review and new hypotheses

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder classically characterized by motor symptoms. Among them, hypomimia affects facial expressiveness and social communication and has a highly negative impact on patients' and relatives' quality of life. Patients also frequently experience nonmotor symptoms, including emotional‐processing impairments, leading to difficulty in recognizing emotions from faces. Aside from its theoretical importance, understanding the disruption of facial emotion recognition in PD is crucial for improving quality of life for both patients and caregivers, as this impairment is associated with heightened interpersonal difficulties. However, studies assessing abilities in recognizing facial emotions in PD still report contradictory outcomes. The origins of this inconsistency are unclear, and several questions (regarding the role of dopamine replacement therapy or the possible consequences of hypomimia) remain unanswered. We therefore undertook a fresh review of relevant articles focusing on facial emotion recognition in PD to deepen current understanding of this nonmotor feature, exploring multiple significant potential confounding factors, both clinical and methodological, and discussing probable pathophysiological mechanisms. This led us to examine recent proposals about the role of basal ganglia‐based circuits in emotion and to consider the involvement of facial mimicry in this deficit from the perspective of embodied simulation theory. We believe our findings will inform clinical practice and increase fundamental knowledge, particularly in relation to potential embodied emotion impairment in PD. © 2018 The Authors.

“…Impairments of facial emotion recognition in PD patients were found to be independent of depressive symptoms [ 167 , 179 - 181 ], executive deficits [ 179 , 180 ], and clinical aspects (i.e., disease duration and severity, [ 180 ]). Moreover, some studies revealed that emotion recognition abnormalities may occur after subthalamic nucleus stimulation [ 182 - 185 ], probably due to alterations of projections to cortical areas, particularly the OFC, which has been already implicated in emotion recognition [ 186 ].…”

Social cognitive function, involved in the perception, processing, and interpretation of social information, has been shown to be crucial for successful communication and interpersonal relationships, thereby significantly impacting mental health, well-being, and quality of life. In this regard, assessment of social cognition, mainly focusing on four key domains, such as theory of mind (ToM), emotional empathy, and social perception and behavior, has been increasingly evaluated in clinical settings, given the potential implications of impairments of these skills for therapeutic decision-making. With regard to neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), most disorders, characterized by variable disease phenotypes and progression, although similar for the unfavorable prognosis, are associated to impairments of social cognitive function, with consequent negative effects on patients' management. Specifically, in some NDs these deficits may represent core diagnostic criteria, such as for behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), or may emerge during the disease course as critical aspects, such as for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. On this background, we aimed to revise the most updated evidence on the neurobiological hypotheses derived from network-based approaches, clinical manifestations, and assessment tools of social cognitive dysfunctions in NDs, also prospecting potential benefits on patients' well-being, quality of life, and outcome derived from potential therapeutic perspectives of these deficits.

“…In the context of non-motor symptoms (NMS) in PD, impairments in facial emotion recognition have constantly been a matter of debate ( Pietschnig et al, 2016 ; Assogna et al, 2008 ; Gray and Tickle-Degnen, 2010 ; Dujardin et al, 2004 ; Ibarretxe-Bilbao et al, 2009 ). Hereby, several studies reported deficits in PD patients in the recognition of fear and/or sadness ( Ariatti et al, 2008 ; Martinez-Corral et al, 2010 ; Saenz et al, 2013 ), others revealed impairments in the recognition of anger and/or disgust ( Martinez-Corral et al, 2010 ; Clark et al, 2010 ; Lawrence et al, 2007 ; Suzuki et al, 2006 ; Clark et al, 2008 ).…”

HighlightsUnderstanding of the phenotypic heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease is needed.Gender and genetics determine manifestation and progression of Parkinson's disease.Altered emotion processing in Parkinson's disease is specific to male patients.This is influenced by endocrinal and genetic factors in both genders.This finding may impact the diagnosis and treatment of emerging clinical features.
