“…Most of the studies of children with ADHD show atypical patterns of oxyHb more prominently in the right hemisphere during a variety of tasks such as the reverse-Stroop task (Yasumura et al, 2014), executive attention control task (Tsujimoto et al, 2013), verbal fluency task (VFT; Schecklmann et al, 2009), Go/NoGo task (Monden et al, 2012, 2015; Xiao et al, 2012; Nagashima et al, 2014a), oddball task (Nagashima et al, 2014b,c), passive viewing of facial expression (Ichikawa et al, 2014), and emotional prosody recognition (Köchel et al, 2015). These studies have revealed hypoactivation in the right frontal lobe including the prefrontal cortex (PFC; Xiao et al, 2012; Yasumura et al, 2014), middle frontal gyrus (MFG), and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) (Monden et al, 2012, 2015; Nagashima et al, 2014a,b,c), presumably because NIRS probes can easily be applied to the frontal region (see Table 1).…”

Functional lateralization is highly replicable trait of human neural system. Many previous studies have indicated the possibility that people with attention-deficits/hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show hemispheric asymmetry in atypical neural function. However, despite the abundance of relevant studies, there is still ongoing controversy over this issue. In the present mini-review, we provide an overview of the hemispheric asymmetry in atypical neural function observed in fNIRS studies on people with these conditions. Atypical neural function is defined as group-difference in the task-related concentration change of oxygenated hemoglobin. The existing fNIRS studies give support to the right-lateralized atypicalty in children with ADHD. At the same time, we did not find clear leftward-lateralization in atypical activation in people with ASD. On the basis of these, we discuss the current states and limitation of the existing studies.

“…In another study, Tsujimoto et al (2013) examined whether children with ADHD showed deficits in visuospatial working memory. The basic procedure of the task was the same as the procedure mentioned above for Tsujimoto et al (2004).…”

“…Moreover, a significant correlation between error rates and right prefrontal activation was found in children with ADHD. Thus, hyperactivity in the right prefrontal regions may play a role in error-making during working memory tasks (Tsujimoto et al, 2013). …”

“…It should be noted that the activation in the prefrontal regions was sometimes stronger and sometimes weaker in children with ADHD that in TD children. Tsujimoto et al (2013) suggested that hyperactivity observed in ADHD children may be due to the compensation of the inefficient neural processing in the prefrontal regions. Thus, the children may recruit the prefrontal regions in the EF tasks, but the activations may not be efficient enough to perform the tasks successfully.…”

Executive function (EF) refers to the higher-order cognitive control process for the attainment of a specific goal. There are several subcomponents of EF, such as inhibition, cognitive shifting, and working memory. Extensive neuroimaging research in adults has revealed that the lateral prefrontal cortex plays an important role in EF. Developmental studies have reported behavioral evidence showing that EF changes significantly during preschool years. However, the neural mechanism of EF in young children is still unclear. This article reviews recent near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) research that examined the relationship between the development of EF and the lateral prefrontal cortex. Specifically, this review focuses on inhibitory control, cognitive shifting, and working memory in young children. Research has consistently shown significant prefrontal activation during tasks in typically developed children, but this activation may be abnormal in children with developmental disorders. Finally, methodological issues and future directions are discussed.

“…The single group showed relatively flat prefrontal activation throughout the driving period regardless of players' game proficiency, suggesting that the driving‐game task used in the present study may not active the PFC due to the task easiness. (Tsujimoto et al., ; Wan et al., ). In contrast, the NIRS data of the paired group showed decreased prefrontal activation in low‐proficiency players and increased prefrontal activation in high‐proficiency players.…”

We examined how a friend's presence affects a performer's prefrontal activation in daily‐life activities using two wireless portable near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices. Participants played a driving video game either solely in the single group or with a friend in the paired group. The two groups (single and paired) were subdivided according to their game proficiency (low and high). The NIRS data demonstrated a significant interaction of group by proficiency. Low‐proficiency players in the paired group showed lower activation than those in the single group, but high‐proficiency players did not. In the paired group, high‐proficiency players showed higher activation than low‐proficiency players, but not in the single group. These results suggest that NIRS detects social presence effects in everyday situations: decreasing prefrontal activation in low‐proficiency performers due to tension reduction and increasing prefrontal activation in high‐proficiency performers due to increased arousal.
