Cortical activation patterns in healthy subjects during the traditional Japanese word generation task Shiritori determined by multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy

Conclusions: Cognitive functions subserved by fronto-temporal regions are elicited by Shiritori task with overt speech in healthy subjects. Thus, Shiritori might potentially be used as a clinically-relevant task to activate language-related networks in the brain.
