Selective impairment of emotion recognition through music in Parkinson's disease: does it suggest the existence of different networks for music and speech prosody processing?

study suggest that future attempts of investigating the effects of degenerative diseases (as well as their treatment) upon the cognitive psychology of emotion processing should focus on specific neuropsychological domains (Hsieh et al., 2012 ), as there might be significant differences among the effects of such diseases upon recognition of emotional content from specific sensory inputs (for example, through visual or auditory modalities), and even among specific variations within one specific sensory modality (such as the difference between emotional recognition through musical and non-musical speech).
