Differential Mood Changes Following Basal Ganglia vs Thalamic Lesions

Arch Neurol. 1988;45(7):725-730.


Abstract



• Patients with computed tomographic scan-verified unilateral lesions in the basal ganglia or thalamus were examined for the presence of poststroke mood disorders. Patients with left-sided basal ganglia lesions (mainly in the head of the caudate nucleus) showed a significantly higher frequency and severity of depression, as compared with patients with right-sided basal ganglia or thalamic (leftor right-sided) lesions. Results suggest that damage to biogenic amine pathways and/or frontocaudate projections may play an important role in the modulation of mood.
