[NfC] fNIRS Frontiers Weekly Newsletter

[Xu Cui]

Dear SfNIRS members,

I just want to let you know that there is a free resource for fNIRS
researchers from Stork: it will summarize the latest research in fNIRS and
send users a brief weekly. Here is the link:

Below is a sample from last week's brief:

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is emerging as a valuable
> tool for diagnosing and assessing cognitive impairments. In a systematic
> review published in *Alzheimers Dement*, David Simpong
> <https://www.storkapp.me/pubpaper/41059738> from the University of Cape
> Coast, Ghana, and colleagues highlighted that fNIRS can effectively detect
> reduced prefrontal connectivity in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and
> Alzheimer's disease, making it a promising diagnostic tool, especially in
> resource-limited settings. Complementing this, research in *Geroscience*
>  by Zheng Li <https://www.storkapp.me/pubpaper/41076505> and his team at
> the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College
> demonstrated that fNIRS combined with machine learning can objectively
> classify cognitive reserve levels in older adults, offering a scalable
> method for early risk stratification. Similarly, a study in *Frontiers in
> Psychiatry* led by Yonggang Mu <https://www.storkapp.me/pubpaper/41058641> from
> Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine found that fNIRS can serve
> as a candidate biomarker to differentiate individuals with stable
> schizophrenia by measuring reduced brain activation in the frontotemporal
> cortex during verbal fluency tasks.

Best,
