Cortical layer-dependent signaling in cognition: Three computational modes of the canonical circuit

Y Miyashita - Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The cerebral cortex performs computations via numerous six-layer modules. The operational
dynamics of these modules were studied primarily in early sensory cortices using bottom-up …

Perirhinal circuits for memory processing

Y Miyashita - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2019 - nature.com
The perirhinal cortex (PRC) serves as the gateway to the hippocampus for episodic memory
formation and plays a part in retrieval through its backward connectivity to various …

Causal neural network of metamemory for retrospection in primates

K Miyamoto, T Osada, R Setsuie, M Takeda, K Tamura… - Science, 2017 - science.org
We know how confidently we know: Metacognitive self-monitoring of memory states, so-
called “metamemory,” enables strategic and efficient information collection based on past …

Conversion of object identity to object-general semantic value in the primate temporal cortex

K Tamura, M Takeda, R Setsuie, T Tsubota… - Science, 2017 - science.org
At the final stage of the ventral visual stream, perirhinal neurons encode the identity of
memorized objects through learning. However, it remains elusive whether and how object …

Operating principles of the cerebral cortex as a six-layered network in primates: beyond the classic canonical circuit model

Y Miyashita - Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2022 - jstage.jst.go.jp
The cerebral cortex performs its computations with many six-layered fundamental units,
collectively spreading along the cortical sheet. What is the local network structure and the …

Temporal division of the decision-making process: An EEG study

PM Cortes, JP García-Hernández, FA Iribe-Burgos… - Brain Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Decision-making is a process that allows individuals to choose an option or alternative in
order to maximize a subjective gain or achieve a set goal by evaluating and establishing a …

Perceptual learning: use-dependent cortical plasticity

W Li - Annual Review of Vision Science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Our perceptual abilities significantly improve with practice. This phenomenon, known as
perceptual learning, offers an ideal window for understanding use-dependent changes in …

Synergistic processing of visual contours across cortical layers in V1 and V2

R Chen, F Wang, H Liang, W Li - Neuron, 2017 - cell.com
Visual cortical areas are interconnected via layer-specific feedforward and feedback
projections. Such intricate connections are thought to be essential for parsing complex …

Sequential involvements of the perirhinal cortex and hippocampus in the recall of item-location associative memory in macaques

C Yang, Y Naya - Plos Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
The standard consolidation theory suggests that the hippocampus (HPC) is critically
involved in acquiring new memory, while storage and recall gradually become independent …

Object color knowledge representation occurs in the macaque brain despite the absence of a developed language system

M Zhao, Y **n, H Deng, Z Zuo, X Wang, Y Bi, N Liu - PLoS biology, 2024 - journals.plos.org
Animals guide their behaviors through internal representations of the world in the brain. We
aimed to understand how the macaque brain stores such general world knowledge …
