Abstract
Facing the Future: Face-Emotion Processing Deficits as a Potential Biomarker For Various Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders
Highlights
There has been considerable interest in face-related research spanning various disciplines from psychology, neurology, and computational science
Face-emotion processing research has taken center stage in affective neuroscience leading researchers to investigate the complex relationship between disease, brain, cognition, behavior, and emotion as it relates to impairments in the processing of human faces at various stages of structural encoding, identification and familiarity, emotion recognition, and semantic retrieval pertaining to specific known faces
One can speculate that both the prevalence and specificity of face processing differences across such diseases can be employed as a potential biomarker that may be used to perform differential diagnoses, treatment outcome measurements as well as treatment response predictions
Summary
There has been considerable interest in face-related research spanning various disciplines from psychology, neurology, and computational science. Face-emotion processing research has taken center stage in affective neuroscience leading researchers to investigate the complex relationship between disease, brain, cognition, behavior, and emotion as it relates to impairments in the processing of human faces at various stages of structural encoding, identification and familiarity, emotion recognition, and semantic retrieval pertaining to specific known faces. They conclude that facial emotion processing is impaired in subjects exhibiting a variety of both psychiatric and neurological disorders.
