Our paper revealing the evolutionary origins of metacognition-driven human intelligence in the macaque brain is just out in Nature Human Behaviour rdcu.be/fji6p

Brain activity, disruption and connectivity comparisons identify origins of human metacognition in other primates
Nature Human Behaviour - Miyamoto et al. show that human metacognition depends on multiple signals in the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex, whereas in macaques it relies on distributed processing...

Our new paper was just published in Nature Communications! We used fMRI and rTMS to investigate the role of the alPFC in social metacognition. With @kentaro-miyamoto.bsky.social, @alimahmoodi.bsky.social, and many other wonderful co-authors not yet on Bluesky! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Asymmetric projection of introspection reveals a behavioural and neural mechanism for interindividual social coordination - Nature Communications
When we collaborate with others to tackle novel problems, we anticipate how they will perform their part effectively. Miyamoto et al find that metacognitive projection mediated by anterior lateral prefrontal cortex enables this social coordination.

Our new paper on anterior prefrontal role of 'social metacognition' (projection of one's own introspection to imagine others' thought) is just out at Nature Communications rdcu.be/d6Tcg
