Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When memory items are presented sequentially, the beginning and the ending items are memorized well (primacy/recency effect). We recorded magnetoencephalogram during performing the following memory task. In the task, seven arrow images were presented sequentially. Afterwards, a recall number (e.g., “3”) was presented. Each participant memorized the arrow directions in order and recalling the direction that was presented in the order indicated by the recall number (i.e., the direction of 3rd arrow), and answered it by pressing a button. We found that the amplitude of alpha-band rhythm were larger during presenting midterm items (3rd, 4th, 5th) than during presenting beginning (1st, 2nd) or ending (6th, 7th) items. In order to clarify relationship between the memory and alpha-band rhythm, the experiment in which item numbers were randomized between 3 and 9 was also performed. When the items were less than 7, the alpha-band rhythm was not suppressed sufficiently at ending items, however, the ending items were still memorized well. This result suggests that the alpha-band suppression is not directly related to memory itself. On the other hand, the region of alpha-band increase around midterm items was estimated to be located in visual cortex. This result suggests that increasing alpha-band rhythm during presenting midterm items is caused by functional inhibition of visual inputs which are irrelevant to memory.
