Basal ganglia and cerebellum contributions to vocal emotion processing as revealed by high-resolution fMRI

Abstract Until recently, brain networks underlying emotional voice prosody decoding and processing were focused on modulations in primary and secondary auditory, ventral frontal and prefrontal cortices, and the amygdala. Growing interest for a specific role of the basal ganglia and cerebellum was re...
