| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explored the neural basis of the awareness of the flow of time from past to present to future. Brain activity was measured using linguistic stimuli in subjects whose native languages were Japanese, Chinese, or English. The results showed that the precuneus strongly responded to stimuli that evoked a sense of the present in all language groups. Additionally, it was found that inhibiting the precuneus impaired past memory. Based on this, a model was proposed in which current information from the precuneus is sent to the hippocampus, where past events are stored in order. Furthermore, it was suggested that the right cerebral cortex-left cerebellar loop is involved in the direction of the flow of time. These studies indicated that the network between the precuneus and the hippocampus, as well as the right cerebral cortex and left cerebellar loop, form the neural basis of the flow of time.
