For example, he notes that the left hemisphere is more activated when looking at abstract, emotionless paintings, while the right hemisphere is more activated by deeply emotive art. Similarly, McGilchrist points out that feelings of depression and melancholy are associated with excess right hemisphere activation, suggesting the right hemisphere plays a crucial role in processing those emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McGilchrist&#8217;s exploration of emotions and the brain reveals further insights. In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-process-emotions\/\">processing emotions<\/a>, the right hemisphere also helps us <em>express<\/em> emotions. For example, he asserts that the right hemisphere is responsible for producing instinctive facial expressions; patients with right hemisphere damage, therefore, lose the ability to convey their emotions through facial expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/my-stroke-of-insight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>My Stroke of Insight<\/em><\/a>, neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor offers personal evidence from her left-hemisphere stroke that illustrates the role the right hemisphere plays in processing and expressing emotions. She maintains that, after losing her left-hemisphere function, it became obvious that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/my-stroke-of-insight#take-charge-of-your-thoughts-and-emotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the right hemisphere is the home of feelings like empathy and joy<\/a>. However, her own personal account differs slightly from McGilchrist\u2019s theoretical account in its view of the left hemisphere; rather than deeming it dispassionate, she contends that it\u2019s the home of anger and judgment, traits that she left behind after the stroke.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-hemisphere-s-capacity-for-empathy\">The Right Hemisphere\u2019s Capacity for Empathy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its superior ability to perceive emotions, McGilchrist asserts that <strong>only the right hemisphere has the capacity for empathy<\/strong>. He notes, for example, that specific regions in the brain\u2019s right hemisphere are activated when we attempt to \u201cput ourselves in others\u2019 shoes,\u201d a practice that requires empathy. Moreover, McGilchrist points out that patients who suffer from right hemisphere damage often lose the ability to empathize, while those with similar left hemisphere damage retain this ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In addition to the individuals that McGilchrist cites who lost their capacity for empathy following right hemisphere damage, other individuals\u2014psychopaths\u2014have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4321752\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>innate <\/em>inability to empathize<\/a>. According to neurophysiological studies, these individuals typically suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S019188691100119X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hyperactive left hemispheres and less active right hemispheres<\/a>, further supporting McGilchrist\u2019s claim that the right hemisphere is necessary for empathy.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can a brain injury impact someone&#8217;s ability to process and express emotion?
