Description | To investigate brain activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during emotional
experiences, we examined blood oxygenation changes of healthy female volunteers by using multi-channel Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Results directly confirmed that the PFC was activated during emotional tasks suggesting that the levels of oxy-Hb increased significantly larger in negative periods compared with positive or neutral in the bilateral dorsolateral PFC. There is a possibility that this brain area is associated with the regulation of negative emotion. Our results suggest that it may be possible to evaluate emotional changes using NIRS sensitively. |
