2011, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Another study investigating emotional modulation of visual cortex activation showed that unilateral damage of the amygdala led to ipsilateral deficits which were proportional to the lesioned volume (Vuilleumier, Richardson, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2004). Other studies examining startle and autonomic responses similarly indicate that unilateral medial temporal lobe lesions that include the amygdala can profoundly alter responding to emotional stimuli (Adolphs & Tranel, 2004; Buchanan, Tranel, & Adolphs, 2004; Davidson, Fedio, Smith, Aureille, & Martin, 1992; Weike et al., 2005). Thus, unilateral lesions can lead to deficits which are not compensated by the contralateral structure.

2003, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Surprisingly, we found an increased activation of the left temporal region in psychopaths, whereas right temporal regions showed a reduced activity. Evidence from psychophysiological as well as lesion studies associated the left temporal regions with hyperarousal, whereas right temporal regions seem to be associated with hypoarousal (Braun et al 1999; Davidson and Irwin 1999; Davidson et al 1996; Kenworthy et al 2001). Regarding the arousal effect assessed by the SAM, psychopaths and control subjects did not differ significantly in this study.
