| Research Abstract |
We identified the elements (regions) of the system regarding paired association learning, which human has an excellent ability to bind unknown items. Especially, we showed that VLPFC has an important role for it. Second, we verified the reliability of DCM, a new tool to treat the brain as a deterministic nonlinear dynamic system that is subject to inputs and produces outputs, in terms of applying to several experiments. Finally, we examined the neural mechanisms of unknown foreign language learning, and observed that cerebellum might have a special role.
