Aim: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show cognitive impairments such as disrupted attention and impaired learning and memory. The multi-source interference task (MSIT) combines multiple dimensions of cognitive interference and recruits the cingulo-frontal-parietal cognitive/attention network. The aim of this study was to determine whether children with ADHD show fronto-parietal dysfunction during the MSIT by using functional near-infrared spec- troscopy (NIRS). Methods: Nineteen boys with ADHD and 14 age- and IQ-matched controls were studied. We measured oxygenated hemoglobin concentration ((oxy-Hb)) changes in the fronto-parietal region by using a 46-channel functional NIRS imaging system. The behavioral performance and mean (oxy-Hb) of the two groups during the MSIT were compared.Results: The behavioral data of the MSIT were not signifi- cantly different between the two groups. Compared to the control group, the ADHD group showed higher (oxy-Hb) changes in the left dorsolateral prefrontal region (ADHD, 0.17 ⊗ 10 -1 ∓ 0.11; control, -0.65 × 10 -1 ∓ 0.62 ⊗ 10 -1 ; P = 0.02). Conclusion: Our results suggest that compared to controls, children with ADHD have abnormal pre- frontal activation in response to multiple interference control, in order to achieve fa- vorable outcomes of cognitive demand. These findings may provide insights into the pathophysiology of ADHD.
