Intracranial EEG spectral feature analysis and focal brain stimulation reveal affective specialization within dorsal anterior cingulate cortex
biorxiv(2022)
摘要
Emotion is represented in several limbic and prefrontal cortical brain areas herein referred to as the Affective Salience Network (ASN). Within this network, less is known about how valence and intensity are processed in the dorsal anterior cingulate (dACC), and how affective processes in dACC compare to activity in other nodes within the ASN. Using a novel spectral feature approach to analyze intracranial electrophysiological data, we discover hemispheric specialization in the dACC such that the right hemisphere is sensitive to intensity while the left hemisphere is sensitive to valence and negative affective bias. We further applied 130 Hz continuous stimulation to the anterior cingulum bundle while patients viewed emotional faces. Faces were rated happier in all patients, an effect modulated by baseline affective bias, suggesting a causal role for the dACC during the processing of external affective stimuli.
