Abstract(in English)	Functional neuroimaging is now becoming an important tool for investigating higher brain function in humans. The author presents basic principle, method and application of fMRI in cognitive neuroscience. Recent studies in our laboratory revealed an involvement of the amygdala, fusiform gyrus, and prefrontal cortex in recognition of facial expression. Particularly, in the young healthy subjects the left amygdala was significantly activated during negative face perception. In contrast, older subjects failed to activate the left amygdala during the task. Finally, the results of event-related fMRI experiment showed that activity of the hippocampus and amygdala in the left hemisphere was associated with recognition of facial identity and expression, respectively.
