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.
