| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We recorded neuronal activity from monkey prefrontal cortex while monkeys were performing a reward inference task. Then we found that neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex categorically code the sensory stimulus and infer the meaning of the stimulus by means of deductive process through the categorical code. Also we have developed new methods for neuroscientific experiment using monkey. We could succeed in monitoring orientation preference and receptive field of tens of V1 neurons , simultaneously, with in vivo calcium imaging and manipulating information transmission of specific connection (here, prefrontal->striatum) by means of DREADD technique.
