Many works in neuroaesthetics reflect the interactions between emotion, creativity and aesthetic judgment.
BvFTD patients undergo early changes in emotional processing.
Abstracts paintings were more often considered ugly and unpleasant by the bv FTD patients than by controls.
BvFTD patients have also very different emotional relevance when viewing abstract paintings than controls.
The loss of the ability to feel the emotion per se (i.e., to feel an emotion faced with art) is linked to behavioural assessment.
