Research Report Investment Behavior and the Negative Side of Emotion (2008)

Baba Shiv, George Loewenstein, Antoine Bechara, Hanna Damasio, Antonio R. Damasio

ABSTRACT—Can dysfunction in neural systems subserving emotion lead, under certain circumstances, to more advantageous decisions? To answer this question, we investigated how normal participants,...

The Somatic Marker Hypothesis: A Neural Theory of Economic Decision (2005)

Antoine Bechara, Antonio R. Damasio

Modern economic theory ignores the influence of emotions on decision-making. Emerging neuroscience evidence suggests that sound and rational decision making, in fact, depends on prior accurate...

A neural basis for collecting behaviour in humans (2005)

Anderson, Steven W., Damasio, Hanna, Damasio, Antonio R.

Collecting behaviour is commonplace in the normal population, but there has been little investigation of its neural basis in humans. The observation that collecting behaviour can assume pathological...

A neural basis for collecting behaviour in humans (2004)

Anderson, Steven W., Damasio, Hanna, Damasio, Antonio R.

Summary Collecting behaviour is commonplace in the normal population, but there has been little investigation of its neural basis in humans. The observation that collecting behaviour can assume...

Neuroanatomical correlates of brainstem coma (2003)

Parvizi, Josef, Damasio, Antonio R.

The brainstem tegmentum, including the reticular formation, contains distinct nuclei, each of which has a set of chemical, physiological and anatomical features. Damage to the brainstem tegmentum is...

Pathological laughter and crying: A link to the cerebellum (2001)

Parvizi, Josef, Anderson, Steven W., Martin, Coleman O., Damasio, Hanna, Damasio, Antonio R.

Patients with pathological laughter and crying (PLC) are subject to relatively uncontrollable episodes of laughter, crying or both. The episodes occur either without an apparent triggering stimulus...

A role for somatosensory cortices in the visual recognition of emotion as revealed by three-dimensional lesion mapping (2000)

Ralph Adolphs, Hanna Damasio, Daniel Tranel, Greg Cooper, Antonio R. Damasio

Although lesion and functional imaging studies have broadly implicated the right hemisphere in the recognition of emotion, neither the underlying processes nor the precise anatomical correlates are...

Emotion, Decision Making and the Orbitofrontal Cortex (2000)

Bechara, Antoine, Damasio, Hanna, Damasio, Antonio R.

The somatic marker hypothesis provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and cognitive framework for decision making and the influence on it by emotion. The key idea of this hypothesis is that decision...

Neural Systems Underlying Visual Recognition in Humans. (1997)

Damasio, Antonio R.

Recent findings from our laboratory indicate that brain-damaged patients can manifest category-specific defects in the retrieval of conceptual knowledge for concrete entities. For example, patients...

Failure to Respond Autonomically to Anticipated Future Outcomes Following Damage to Prefrontal Cortex (1996)

Bechara, Antoine, Tranel, Daniel, Damasio, Hanna, Damasio, Antonio R.

Following damage to specific sectors of the prefrontal cortex, humans develop a defect in real-life decision making, in spite of otherwise normal intellectual performance. The patients so affected...

The Topographical and Neuroanatomical Distribution of Neurofibrillary Tangles and Neuritic Plaques in the Cerebral Cortex of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease (1991)

Arnold, Steven E., Hyman, Bradley T., Flory, Jill, Damasio, Antonio R., Van Hoesen, Gary W.

The distribution of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuritic plaques (NPs) was mapped in 39 cortical areas of 11 brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whole hemisphere blocks were...

TROUBLED LETTERS BUT NOT NUMBERS: DOMAIN SPECIFIC COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS FOLLOWING FOCAL DAMAGE IN FRONTAL CORTEX (1990)

ANDERSON, STEVEN W., DAMASIO, ANTONIO R., DAMASIO, HANNA

A well educated right-handed woman developed severe and stable alexia and agraphia following a circumscribed surgical lesion in the left premotor cortex. The lesion was located in Brodmann's field 6,...
