个人简介
Yasushi Miyashita has been studying the memory and metamemory system in primates to reveal the dynamics of the cortical global networks and local circuits that underlie the memory of objects. He has made three major discoveries: first, the memory neurons that encode and retrieve associative long-term memory of objects in the temporal cortex; second, the top-down signal from the prefrontal cortex to the memory neurons in the temporal cortex for memory retrieval; and third, the metamemory centers in the frontopolar and anterior dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that interact with the temporal lobe memory centers. These discoveries clarify where and how mnemonic representations are organized in the primate brain and which mechanism underlies the on-demand reactivation of the representation during voluntary recall. His work also provides mechanistic insight into the long-standing question of how we comprehend the meaning of what we see. Finally, his recent work on metamemory has enriched our understanding of how our metacognition (cognition of cognition) is implemented in the brain and how retrospection becomes possible.
