Processing facial emotions in adults with velo-cardio-facialsyndrome: functional magnetic resonance imaging

We studied the functional neuroanatomy of social behaviour invelo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) using a facial emotional processing taskand functional magnetic resonance imaging in adults with this syndrome andcontrols matched for age and IQ. The VCFS group had less activation in theright insula and...

Zusammenfassung:We studied the functional neuroanatomy of social behaviour invelo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) using a facial emotional processing taskand functional magnetic resonance imaging in adults with this syndrome andcontrols matched for age and IQ. The VCFS group had less activation in theright insula and frontal brain regions and more activation in occipitalregions. Genetically determined abnormalities in pathways including thoseinvolved in emotional processing may underlie deficits in social cognitionin people with VCFS.
