To investigate the neural processing of emotion in right and left temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), we monitored EEG during neutral and emotionally positive and negative auditory stimulation. Left TLE patients displayed increased right lateralization and a negative emotional stimulus rating bias, while right TLE patients did not. This EEG arousal and negative affect may reflect deactivated inhibition of the right hemisphere, symptomatically expressed as arousal and anxiety. Failure to increase lateralization to emotional stimuli in right TLE may reflect compromised emotional attention/arousal centers in the right hemisphere. Results support a two-dimensional theory of the neural processing of emotion.
为研究右颞叶癫痫（TLE）和左颞叶癫痫患者情绪的神经处理过程，我们在中性、情绪积极和情绪消极的听觉刺激期间监测脑电图（EEG）。左颞叶癫痫患者表现出右侧化增加和负面情绪刺激评分偏差，而右颞叶癫痫患者则没有。这种脑电图唤醒和负面影响可能反映了右半球失活的抑制作用，症状表现为唤醒和焦虑。右颞叶癫痫患者对情绪刺激的右侧化未能增加，可能反映了右半球情绪注意力/唤醒中心受损。研究结果支持情绪神经处理的二维理论。
