Pathoanatomic Correl Between Poststroke Pathol Crying & Damage to Brain Areas Involved in Serotonergic Neurotransmission Stroke 25:1050-1052, Andersen,G.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The patients with the clinically most severe pathological crying had relatively large bilateral pontine lesions without lesions in the hemispheres.The intermediate group had bilateral central hemispheric lesions and the clinically least affected patients had mainly unilateral large subcortical lesions.Poststroke pathological crying may be attributable to stroke-induced partial destruction of the serotonergic raphe nuclei in the brain stem or their ascending projections to the hemispheres.
