| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We refer to the awareness of time, over the past, present and future, as the “mental time”. The mental time is a cognitive function that has been evolved in humans in particular. In this research project, we aimed at constructing a new research area “the science of the mental time”, through active collaborations across neuroscientists, psychologists, clinical neurologists, linguists, philosophers, and comparative ethologists. The five-year collaborative project across seven programmed and 58 proposed research teams produced more than 380 research papers, and achieved three major goals. (1) We drew the map of the mental time on the medial surface of the cerebral cortex that extended over the cingulate cortex, precuneus, retrosplenial cortex, and the hippocampus. (2) We developed a method for manipulating the mental time using lab animals, and initiated clinical applications. (3) We revealed the process of evolution and development of the episodic-like memory.
