Abstract
This article reviews existing empirical research into the effects of amygdala damage on facial expression recognition. The relevant findings of our ongoing research are also described. The evidence suggests that amygdala-damaged patients have impaired recognition of the facial expressions associated with certain negative emotions, particularly fear.The implications of these findings for psychological research on emotion are discussed.
