Outline of Final Research Achievements	Unlike other primates, humans can regulate their own minds and brains and establish the self, which are based on language acquisition and social reciprocity. Elucidating neuronal basis of human self-regulation and developing assistance for self-regulation and its restoration are urgent issue in light of psychiatric disorder upsurge. Through five-year research, we revealed neural basis of psychiatric disorders associated with impaired self-regulation, and developed effective intervention strategies for those who suffer from the disorders including cognitive-behavioral therapies, neurofeedback, and identification of molecular targets.
