Understanding of systems of paired-association process in human brain functional imaging

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
