The lab works toward new treatments through clinical care and research on intractable neurological diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Training people who will lead neuroscience
The lab is a neurology department that treats diseases of the brain and the rest of the nervous system.
It provides clinical care for a wide range of conditions, from headaches, dizziness, and memory loss (dementia) to stroke, epilepsy, and intractable neurological diseases.
In research, it has produced results centered on multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and muscle diseases such as muscular dystrophy.
To achieve translational research that applies research results to clinical practice, the lab works with centers within the university and is also engaged in university-originated drug discovery.
Key terms
- translational research
- Research that connects the results of basic research to forms that can be applied in clinical practice, such as treating patients. Also called TR
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- An intractable neurological disease in which the nerves that control movement are damaged and muscles waste away. Also called ALS
- multiple sclerosis
- A disease in which inflammation occurs in the central nervous system, such as the brain and spinal cord. One of the intractable neurological diseases
