Amygdala contribution to selective dimensions of emotion (2007)
Berntson, Gary G., Bechara, Antoine, Damasio, Hanna, Tranel, Daniel, Cacioppo, John T.
The amygdala has been implicated in emotional processes, although the precise nature of the emotional deficits following amygdala lesions remains to be fully elucidated. Cognitive disturbances in the...

Analysis of single-unit responses to emotional scenes in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (2005)
Kawasaki, Hiroto, Adolphs, Ralph, Oya, Hiroyuki, Kovach, Christopher, Damasio, Hanna, Kaufman, Olaf, ...
Lesion and functional imaging studies in humans have shown that the ventral and medial prefrontal cortex is critically involved in the processing of emotional stimuli, but both of these methods have...
Does gender play a role in functional asymmetry of ventromedial prefrontal cortex? (2005)
Tranel, Daniel, Damasio, Hanna, Denburg, Natalie L., Bechara, Antoine
We found previously in a lesion study that the right-sided sector of the ventromedial prefrontal cortices (VMPCs) was critical for social/emotional functioning and decision-making, whereas the...
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...

Cortical Regions for Judgments of Emotions and Personality Traits from Point-light Walkers (2004)
Heberlein, Andrea S., Adolphs, Ralph, Tranel, Daniel, Damasio, Hanna
Humans are able to use nonverbal behavior to make fast, reliable judgments of both emotional states and personality traits. Whereas a sizeable body of research has identified neural structures...
The scope of preserved procedural memory in amnesia (2004)
Cavaco, Sara, Anderson, Steven W., Allen, John S., Castro-Caldas, Alexandre, Damasio, Hanna
Summary The finding that patients with amnesia retain the ability to learn certain procedural skills has provided compelling evidence of multiple memory systems in the human brain, but the scope,...

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...
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...
Bechara, Antoine, Tranel, Daniel, Damasio, Hanna
On a gambling task that models real-life decisions, patients with bilateral lesions of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VM) opt for choices that yield high immediate gains in spite of higher...
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...
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,...
