For cognitive processes to function well, it is essential that the brain optimally supplied with oxygen and blood. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting cerebral oxygenation hemodynamics can be modified physical activity. To better understand relationship between oxygenation/hemodynamics, activity, cognition, application of state-of-the art neuroimaging tools essential. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) such a tool especially suitable investigate effects activity/exercises on due its capability quantify changes in concentration oxygenated hemoglobin (oxyHb) deoxygenated (deoxyHb) non-invasively human brain. However, currently there no clear standardized procedure regarding application, data processing, analysis fNIRS, large heterogeneity how fNIRS applied field exercise–cognition science. Therefore, this review aims summarize current methodological knowledge about studies measuring cortical hemodynamic responses during testing (i) prior after different activities interventions, (ii) cross-sectional accounting for fitness level their participants.

The neural correlates of discrete gait characteristics in ageing: A structured review

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 100, P. 344 - 369

Published: Dec. 13, 2018

Gait is complex, described by diverse characteristics underpinned widespread central nervous system networks including motor and cognitive functions. Despite this, neural substrates of discrete gait are poorly understood, limiting understanding impairment in ageing disease. This structured review aims to map characteristics, defined from a pre-specified model reflecting independent domains, brain imaging parameters older adults. Fifty-two studies 38,029 yielded were reviewed. Studies showed inconsistent approaches when mapping assessment substrates, conclusions. impairments typically associated with deterioration, specifically grey matter atrophy white integrity loss. velocity, global measure control, was most frequently these markers within frontal basal ganglia regions, its decline predicted volume measurements. Fewer assessed additional measures or functional parameters. Future regional neuroanatomical correlates needed, those which take multi-process network perspective better understand mobility health

In this paper, a novel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) framework for control of prosthetic legs and rehabilitation patients suffering from locomotive disorders is presented. fNIRS signals are used to initiate stop the gait cycle, while nonlinear proportional derivative computed torque controller (PD-CTC) with gravity compensation torques hip knee joints minimization position error. present study, brain walking intention rest tasks were acquired left hemisphere's primary motor cortex nine subjects. Thereafter, removal motion artifacts physiological noises, performances six different filters (i.e. Kalman, Wiener, Gaussian, hemodynamic response filter (hrf), Band-pass, finite impulse response) evaluated. Then, features extracted oxygenated hemoglobin signals, their combinations classification. Also, classification five classifiers k-Nearest Neighbour, quadratic discriminant analysis, linear analysis (LDA), Naïve Bayes, support vector machine (SVM)) tested. The accuracies obtained SVM using hrf significantly higher (p < 0.01) than those other classifier/ combinations. Those 77.5, 72.5, 68.3, 74.2, 73.3, 80.8, 65, 76.7, 86.7% subjects, respectively. commands generated initiated stopped cycle leg, which controlled PD-CTC minimize proposed scheme can be effectively neurofeedback training lower-limb amputees paralyzed patients.

Cognitive processes are required during walking to appropriately respond environmental and task demands. There now many studies that have used functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) record brain activation investigate neural bases of cognitive contributions in gait.

Published: Aug. 31, 2020

Background Declines in gait parameters are common with aging and more pronounced tasks increased executive demand. However, the neural correlates of age-related impairments not fully understood yet. Objectives To investigate ( a) effects on prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during usual walking, obstacle crossing dual-task walking b) association between PFC measures function. Methods Eighty-eight healthy individuals were distributed into 6 age-groups: 20-25 (G20), 30-35 (G30), 40-45 (G40), 50-55 (G50), 60-65 (G60), 70-75 years (G70). Participants walked overground under 3 conditions: crossing, walking. Changes oxygenated deoxygenated hemoglobin recorded using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Gait spatiotemporal assessed an electronic walkway. Executive function was through validated tests. Results Between-group differences observed for all conditions. Multiple groups (ie, G30, G50, G60, G70) showed at least one Young adults (G20 G30) had lowest levels while G60 highest levels. Only G70 reduced (which walking). related to Conclusions Aging causes a gradual increase This compensatory mechanism may reach resource ceiling 70s, when limits its efficiency observed.
