“…However, as mentioned above, the most important region in processing facial expressions is the occipital temporal area, including the superior temporal sulcus (STS) (Andrews & Ewbank, 2004;Said et al, 2010). Our group previously applied NIRS to measure the brain activity in the bilateral occipital temporal area overlying the STS of 6-to 7-month-old infants while they viewed facial expressions and found face-related cerebral hemodynamic response (Nakato, Otsuka, Kanazawa, Yamaguchi, & Kakigi, 2011). For typically developed adults, it has been reported that the processing of facial expression occurs dominantly in the right hemisphere (Etcoff, 1984;Gainotti, 2012;Nakamura et al 1999;Tsuchiya, Kawasaki, Oya, Howard, & Adolphs, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tChildren with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty recognizing facial expressions. They identify angry expressions less accurately than typically developing (TD) children, yet little is known about their atypical neural basis for the recognition of facial expressions. Here, we used nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to examine the distinctive cerebral hemodynamics of ADHD and TD children while they viewed happy and angry expressions. We measured the hemodynamic responses of 13 ADHD boys and 13 TD boys to happy and angry expressions at their bilateral temporal areas, which are sensitive to face processing. The ADHD children showed an increased concentration of oxy-Hb for happy faces but not for angry faces, while TD children showed increased oxy-Hb for both faces. Moreover, the individual peak latency of hemodynamic response in the right temporal area showed significantly greater variance in the ADHD group than in the TD group. Such atypical brain activity observed in ADHD boys may relate to their preserved ability to recognize a happy expression and their difficulty recognizing an angry expression. We firstly demonstrated that NIRS can be used to detect atypical hemodynamic response to facial expressions in ADHD children.

“…Haemodynamic changes during the face recognition process as assessed by NIRS have been documented in several studies (Blasi et al, 2007;Csibra et al, 2004;Grossmann et al, 2008;Honda et al, 2010;Ichikawa et al, 2010;Nakato et al, 2009Nakato et al, , 2011aNakato et al, , 2011bOtsuka et al, 2007). Newborns showed a spontaneous preference for face-like stimuli over non-face-like patterns (Fantz, 1961).…”

“…Numerous behavioural and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that 5-7-month-old infants can visibly discriminate different facial expressions and exhibit an attention bias towards salient facial expressions (Leppanen & Nelson, 2009). Recent NIRS studies have demonstrated that infants show different haemodynamic responses to different facial stimuli (Nakato et al, 2009(Nakato et al, , 2011a(Nakato et al, , 2011b.…”

“…Infants respond to happy faces and angry faces with distinct haemodynamic changes in their cortical regions (Nakato et al, 2011b). Nakato et al found that the left temporal region, particularly the left superior temporal sulcus, was significantly activated in response to happy faces, whereas the right temporal region was activated in response to angry faces.…”

“…Instruments of this type allow observation of dynamic changes in regional cerebral blood flows (rCBFs) in real time by monitoring the concentration changes in cerebral Hb. The recent advent of multi-channel CW-type instruments has greatly increased the use of NIRS in a variety of neuroimaging studies [14][15][16][17].…”

Although near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was originally designed for clinical monitoring of tissue oxygenation, it has also been developing into a useful tool for neuroimaging studies (functional NIRS). Over the past 30 years, technology has developed and NIRS has found a wide range of applications. However, the accuracy and reliability of NIRS have not yet been widely accepted, mainly because of the difficulties in selective and quantitative detection of signals arising in cerebral tissue, which subject the use of NIRS to a number of practical restrictions. This review summarizes the strengths and advantages of NIRS over other neuroimaging modalities and demonstrates specific examples. The issues of selective quantitative measurement of cerebral haemoglobin during brain activation are also discussed, together with the problems of applying the methods of functional magnetic resonance imaging data analysis to NIRS data analysis. Finally, near-infrared optical tomography-the next generation of NIRS-is described as a potential technique to overcome the limitations of NIRS.
