Abstract

The present study investigated oxygenated ([oxy-Hb]) and deoxygenated ([deoxy-Hb]) hemoglobin concentration changes during the performance of a word fluency task in the frontal region of five drug-naive patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia and in 33 age-, sex-, and task performance-matched healthy volunteers by using multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The left inferior frontal [oxy-Hb] changes during performance of the task in patients with panic disorder were significantly smaller than those of healthy controls. This pilot study suggests the possibility that the left frontal lobe, required for cognitive function, is impaired in patients with panic disorder.
