Kawasaki Medical School: Testing brain activity to decipher chronic indigestion

木曜日, 9月 14, 2023

OKAYAMA, Japan, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Patients with a type of chronic indigestion called functional dyspepsia experience abdominal discomfort without having obvious physiological or biochemical causes. The condition shares similarities with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Researchers at the Kawasaki Medical School in Japan have used brain signals gathered from the surface of the head to suggest that patients with functional dyspepsia experience mental distress simply by watching images of food they dislike.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at the Kawasaki Medical School in Japan have used brain signals gathered from the surface of the head to suggest that patients with functional dyspepsia experience mental distress simply by watching images of food they dislike.
  • Participants' brain activity while viewing food images was then detected using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
  • This uses an array of scalp-mounted detectors to assess brain activity by monitoring the levels of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the outer layer of the brain called the cerebral cortex.
  • The study compared the brain activity of patients with functional dyspepsia or IBS with the activity of healthy control subjects.
