Prefrontal Brain Activation During Emotional Processing: A Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study (fNIRS) [PDF]
The limbic system and especially the amygdala have been identified as key structures in emotion induction and regulation. Recently research has additionally focused on the influence of prefrontal areas on emotion processing in the limbic system and the amygdala. Results from fMRI studies indicate that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved not only in

Diffuse optical tomography to investigate the newborn brain [PDF]
Over the past 15 years, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a powerful technology for studying the developing brain. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an extension of fNIRS that combines hemodynamic information from dense ...

Evidence of Top‐Down Sensory Prediction in Neonates Within 2 Days of Birth
ABSTRACT Recent studies have demonstrated top‐down modulation in perceptual cortices in infants as young as 6 months. However, it is unclear when and how this ability emerges given conflicting evidence available. This study investigates top‐down perceptual modulation by focusing on a neural signature referred to as top‐down sensory prediction, where ...

Brain activity underlying the recovery of meaning from degraded speech: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) study [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to establish whether functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), an emerging brain-imaging technique based on optical principles, is suitable for studying the brain activity that underlies effortful listening. In an event-

Fasting as Medicine: Mitochondrial and Endothelial Rejuvenation in Vascular Aging
Aging impairs cerebrovascular health by driving mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, endothelial failure, and neurovascular uncoupling, leading to BBB breakdown and cognitive decline. In contrast, time‐restricted feeding/eating counteracts these mechanisms by restoring mitochondrial function, activating adaptive nutrient‐sensing pathways ...

Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks [PDF]
Recent efforts have shown that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has potential value for brain sensing in HCI user studies. Research has shown that, although large head movement significantly affects fNIRS data, typical keyboard use, mouse ...

A systematic review of brain health in adults with chronic pain
Summary Introduction Recent research has linked chronic pain with an increased risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Yet structural and functional brain changes associated with chronic pain and their potential role in accelerating brain ageing have not been characterised comprehensively.
