Background and PurposezzTe increasing recognition that defcits in social emotions occur in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is helping to explain the spectrum of neuropsychological dysfunctions, thus supporting the view of ALS as a multisystem disorder involving neuropsychological defcits as well as motor defcits. Te aim of this study was to characterize the emotion perception abilities of Korean patients with ALS based on the recognition of facial expressions. MethodszzTwenty-four patients with ALS and 24 age- and sex-matched healthy controls completed neuropsychological tests and facial emotion recognition tasks [ChaeLee Korean Facial Expressions of Emotions (ChaeLee-E)]. Te ChaeLee-E test includes facial expressions for seven emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, surprise, and neutral. ResultszzTe ability to perceive facial emotions was signifcantly worse among ALS patients performed than among healthy controls [65.2±18.0% vs. 77.1±6.6% (mean±SD), p=0.009]. Eight of the 24 patients (33%) scored below the 5th percentile score of controls for recognizing facial emotions. ConclusionszzEmotion perception defcits occur in Korean ALS patients, particularly regarding facial expressions of emotion. Tese fndings expand the spectrum of cognitive and behavioral dysfunction associated with ALS into emotion processing dysfunction.
