Abstract
In the present study, 10 patients with a history of moderate and severe cranioencephalic trauma were evaluated together with 10 control participants without brain damage, matched by age, sex and schooling. In the tests of emotional recognition the control group achieved a superior performance to the group of cases. In addition, the control group achieved better capacity in olfactory tests than the group of cases. It was possible to identify a statistically significant correlation between the results of emotional recognition and the olfactory variable in the group of cases, which allows the identification of the role that topographic and functional brain system structures may be involved in processing, In turn, it opens prospects for future studies, especially in intervention models in clinical groups affected by head trauma.
