The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different speech
tasks (recitation of prose (PR), alliteration (AR) and hexameter (HR) verses)
and a control task (mental arithmetic (MA) with voicing of the result) on endtidal
CO2 (ET-CO2), cerebral hemodynamics; i.e. total hemoglobin (tHb) and
tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). tHb and StO2 were measured with a frequency
domain near infrared spectrophotometer (ISS Inc., USA) and ET-CO2 with a
gas analyzer (Nellcor N1000). Measurements were performed in 24 adult
volunteers (11 female, 13 male; age range 22 to 64 years) during task
performance in a randomized order on 4 different days to avoid potential carry
over effects. Statistical analysis was applied to test differences between
baseline, 2 recitation and 5 recovery periods. The two brain hemispheres and 4
tasks were tested separately. Data analysis revealed that during the recitation
tasks (PR, AR and HR) StO2 decreased statistically significant (p < 0.05)
during PR and AR in the right prefrontal cortex (PFC) and during AR and HR
in the left PFC. tHb showed a significant decrease during HR in the right PFC
and during PR, AR and HR in the left PFC. During the MA task, StO2
increased significantly. A significant decrease in ET-CO2 was found during all
4 tasks with the smallest decrease during the MA task. In conclusion, we
hypothesize that the observed changes in tHb and StO2 are mainly caused by an
altered breathing during the tasks that led a lowering of the CO2 content in the
blood provoked a cerebral CO2 reaction, i.e. a vasoconstriction of blood vessels
due to decreased CO2 pressure and thereby decrease in cerebral blood volume.
Therefore, breathing changes should be monitored during brain studies
involving speech when using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to
ensure a correct interpretation of changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation.
