It has been recently suggested that contact with nature improves mood via reducing the activity of prefrontal cortex. However, specific regions within cortex underlie this effect remain unclear. In study, we aimed to identify involved in mood-improving viewing images using a 52-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Specifically, focused on orbitofrontal (OFC) and dorsolateral (dlPFC), two associated affective processing control. randomized controlled crossover experiment, assigned thirty young adults view built environments for three minutes each counterbalanced order. During image viewing, participants wore fNIRS probe cap had their oxyhemoglobin (oxy-Hb) measured. Immediately following indicated terms comfortableness, relaxation, vigor. Results showed significantly increased comfortableness relaxation but not vigor compared environments, large size. Meanwhile, concentration oxy-Hb only right OFC none other decreased while medium We speculate by or calming OFC. Since is hyperactive patients depression anxiety at rest, might have therapeutic effects them.

Background/Objective . Menopausal depression (MD) is characterized by depressive symptoms along with hormonal fluctuations. We investigate brain function alteration between major disorder (MDD) and MD. Methods The difference in oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) for the prefrontal cortex (PFC) was compared retrospectively among 90 females presented 30 MDD, MD, healthy controls (HCs) using verbal fluency task (VFT) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Results observed a significant Oxy-Hb left dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) VFT NIRS (channel 18,P=0.007) MD MDD groups. A levels three groups bilateral DLPFC (channels 18, 27, 33, 39, 41, 45;P<0.05).

Detecting suicide risk among nonclinical populations is challenging due to low base rates and the help-negation tendency of at-risk individuals. The current longitudinal study investigated predictive validity modified emotional Stroop task (EST) by conducting a follow-up 197 students who participated in Chung Jeglic (2016). EST latencies for suicide-related cues past suicidal behaviors were only significant predictors risk. findings this provide preliminary support use as part screening battery that could add detection
