BACKGROUND: Although extensive research has been published about the emotional consequences of @entity64 , most studies have focused on emotional words, speech prosody, voices, or facial expressions. The emotional processing of musical excerpts following @entity64 has been relatively unexplored. OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of @entity64 on the recognition of basic emotions in music. METHODS: Seventy @entity1 , including 25 normal controls (NC), 25 @entity1 with @entity75 ( @entity75 ) from @entity64 , and 20 @entity1 with @entity75 ( @entity75 ) from @entity64 between the ages of 31-71 years were studied. The Musical Emotional Bursts (MEB) test, which consists of a set of short musical pieces expressing basic emotional states (happiness, sadness, and fear) and neutrality, was used to test musical emotional perception. RESULTS: Both @entity64 groups were significantly poorer than normal controls for the MEB total score and its subtests (p< 0.001). The @entity75 group was significantly less able than the @entity75 group to recognize sadness (p=0.047) and neutrality (p=0.015). Negative correlations were found between age and MEB scores for all groups, particularly the NC and @entity75 groups. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated that @entity64 affecting the auditory cerebrum can cause acquired @entity27500 with greater severity in @entity75 than @entity75 . These results supported the "valence hypothesis" of right hemisphere dominance in processing negative emotions.
