Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to understand neural basis of self regulation during adolescent period by implicating comparative cognitive approach in terms of metacognition and social adaptive behavior. We revealed neural mechanism of social adaptation in monkeys, developed novel method of studying metacognition in rodent, self-awareness mechanism in human, and differences of neural mechanism of social communication between patients in psychological disorders.
