Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many studies have investigated and suggested the effects of gum-chewing as a stress coping measure. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms involved are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that gum-chewing activates the PFC in stress coping against negative sounds. Negative sounds were selected and mixed from the International Affective Digitized Sounds-2 (IADS) with fewer than 3.0 in pleasure value. Gum-chewing activated the PFC activity while exposed to negative sounds from IADS as a mental stress task. Judged mainly by the psychological results, the subjects felt discomfort during NS, which could cause acute stress responses in the brain. Indeed, NS increased Oxy-Hb in the PFC, indicating that NS induced neural activation of the PFC.
