Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Previous studies suggest that left-superior asymmetry in the brain activity reflects approach motivation of anger. As people get upset, the asymmetry emerges. Recently, this phenomenon has been demonstrated in terms of blood flow as evidenced by a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The elderly exhibited the left-superior brain activity (front-dorsolateral area) in a traffic jam created by a driving simulator. In this study, we further investigated whether increased approach motivation of anger induced (A) acceleration in cardiovascular system, (B) increased salivary cortisol level as stress markers, and (C) higher correlation between brain asymmetry and neuropsychological tests for measuring executive function in the frontal cortex. As shown in previous studies, a traffic jam produced a left-superior asymmetric brain activity, which seems to reflect increased approach motivation (i.e., anger). This asymmetric brain activity was associated with Trail Making Test score, which reflects ability of executive functioning. These results suggest that greater left than right frontal activity and greater aggression by elderly adults in a traffic jam seem to both be attributed to weak executive function, which is predominantly processed in the prefrontal cortex. Results of cardiovascular responses and salivary cortisol level are also discussed.
