| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Memory is formed through two distinct processes over time. One is encoding which works when people learn novel materials, the other is consolidation occurred after the encoding. To develop the application for the enhancement of the memory consolidation using a neuroscientific index, the purpose of this project was to identify the encoding-related neuronal activity which predicts the subsequent memory consolidation. By measuring functional magnetic resonance imaging during the sequential motor learning, we found that primary motor area holds the motor memory about the sequential motor skill during encoding, and that the declarative memory system including hippocampus has a critical role for the motor memory consolidation. Future study should develop the method for enhancing memory consolidation using the present findings.
