Outline of Final Research Achievements

Biological motion is consist of dots which represent articulation of human and animals. Biological motion is involved in cognition of others' behavior. We found the region in response to biological motion stimuli in caudal part of superior temporal sulcus and their cortical connection in common marmoset. We measured cortical responses to biological motion in the cortical areas that have neural connections to caudal part of superior temporal sulcus. The result suggests that a part of dorsal frontal cortex would related information processing of biological motion perception.
