Activation of Brain Regions Associated with Working Memory and Inhibitory Control in Patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often show abnormalities related to cognitive activities, especially related to working memory and inhibitory control. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive brain imaging technique based on the changes in cerebral hemodynamics to measure the response of brain activities to cognitive tasks.

Methods

In this review, we collected all clinical experiments that evaluated the changes of oxyhemoglobin levels in relevant brain regions of patients with ADHD through cognitive tasks by fNIRS to determine the abnormalities of brain regions related to working memory and inhibitory control activities in patients with ADHD.
