How temporal lobe lesion affects musical emotion?

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event How temporal lobe lesion affects musical emotion? Séverine Samson1* 1 JE2497 & Epilepsy Unit,University of Lille-Nord de France, France Studies of patients who have undergone unilateral temporal lobe resection for the relief of intractable epilepsy have demonstrated impaired memory and emotional processing of music providing considerable advances in the cognitive neuroscience of music. In this presentation, I will review our previous findings demonstrating the involvement of the amygdala and of the parahippocampal cortex in recognizing emotion induced by musical listening. Then, recent data illustrating how emotional content of stimuli influences musical memory will be reported. All these results will be presented in relation to the specificity of music and the relevance of examining musical emotion and its relation to memory will be discussed opening up interesting paths to study interactions between cognitive and clinical neurosciences.
