Huntington's disease can particularly affect people's recognition of disgust from facial expressions, and functional neuroimaging research has demonstrated that facial expressions of disgust consistently engage different brain areas (insula and putamen) than other facial expressions. However, it is not known whether these particular brain areas process only facial signals of disgust or disgust signals from multiple modalities. Here we describe evidence, from a patient with insula and putamen damage, for a neural system for recognizing social signals of disgust from multiple modalities.
亨廷顿舞蹈症会特别影响人们从面部表情中识别厌恶情绪的能力，功能性神经影像研究表明，与其他面部表情相比，厌恶的面部表情始终会激活不同的脑区（脑岛和壳核）。然而，尚不清楚这些特定脑区是否仅处理厌恶的面部信号，还是处理来自多种模态的厌恶信号。在此，我们描述了一名患有脑岛和壳核损伤的患者提供的证据，证明存在一个用于从多种模态识别厌恶社会信号的神经系统。
