Compare emotional facial paresis and volitional facial paresis and the brain areas that contribute to each.
What will be an ideal response?
Volitional facial paresis results from damage to the face region of the primary motor cortex. The individual with this disorder cannot move the facial features voluntarily. This result of the damage makes sense because the damage occurs in the motor cortex, not an area responsible for emotional response. In contrast, emotional facial paresis results from damage to the insular region of the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex has a role in the expression of emotions, thus the resulting impairment makes sense.
