Observational analysis finds fNIRS correlates with cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, suggesting clinical potential.

fNIRS revealed cognitive deficits in schizophrenia patients during the verbal fluency test, indicating diagnostic potential.
Results showed an area under the curve of 0.781 for the integral value of temporal lobes, highlighting its sensitivity for diagnosis.
Inclusion of 45 stable schizophrenia patients and 30 healthy controls enhances the reliability of findings related to cognitive measures.
Study outcomes suggest that fNIRS is a promising tool for assessing cognitive function and identifying potential biomarkers in schizophrenia.

Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
