Abstract
We studied the electrodermal skin conductance responses (SCRs) of 36 s ubjects with well-characterized lesions in various regions of the cere bral hemispheres. Several lesion loci were consistently associated wit h defective electrodermal responding: the ventromedial frontal region (right and left), the right inferior parietal region, and the anterior cingulate gyrus (right and left). Our findings provide direct informa tion regarding neural correlates of skin conductance responses in huma ns.
