Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This study is a trial to bridge the communication gap between social science (e.g. linguistics) and natural science (e.g. neuroscience) through a neuroscientific explanation for the phenomenon of “meaning and understanding” in the brain. After the definition of the mechanism of “perception (recognition, consciousness) and memory (learning)” in the higher order association cortices, the paper discusses the serious matter on human communication such as misunderstanding, contextual (situational) dependency, ambiguity of a word ,quaria and so on. Furthermore, the paper explains what the “understand (notice, discover)” is in our nervous system through the explanation of the wiring mechanism of the “don’t understand (question)”. The operating principle (model) mentioned in the study suggests various applications in the area of macroscopic pattern recognition such as situation/context/atmosphere recognition as a unique method of heuristic problem solving.
