Machine-translated · View original
A psychiatry lab that provides clinical care and conducts research on dementia and mood disorders from both the brain and the mind.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching psychiatry through both the brain and the mind.
The Psychiatry lab provides clinical care and conducts research on dementia, depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and more at the Department of Neuropsychiatry, University of Tsukuba Hospital.
Research can be conducted with a wide range of methods, including epidemiology, neuroimaging, neuropathology, molecular biology, psychophysiology, psychopathology, clinical psychology, and social psychiatry.
Students can also earn a degree by conducting research in graduate school while undergoing clinical training.
This website is mainly intended for residents who are considering advanced residency training in psychiatry.

ResearchResearch themes
While providing care for dementia, schizophrenia, depression, and other conditions, the lab studies psychiatric disorders from both the brain and the mind. The research is highly varied, and each faculty member works in a different direction, such as brain analysis, exercise, brain imaging, and disaster and community psychiatry.
*Illustrative imagePathobiochemical Analysis of Diseased Brains
Prof. Arai has conducted research that analyzes diseased brains pathobiochemically to identify changes specific to each disease. Comprehensive research combined with epidemiology, neuroimaging, and other methods is also possible.
*Illustrative imageDementia and Exercise
Lecturer Nemoto studies dementia and exercise. In the department's clinical research on dementia, the lab conducts studies on early detection, early intervention, and care for various groups, such as people with young-onset dementia and mild cognitive impairment.
*Illustrative imageDementia Research Using Brain Imaging Techniques
Prof. Ota wants to actively apply brain imaging methods to clinical research, such as developing effective treatments and prevention methods for dementia, a condition in which the number of patients is expected to increase.
*Illustrative imageDisaster and Community Psychiatry
The disaster and community psychiatry division conducts education and research while working in psychiatric care in Ibaraki Prefecture in normal times and in disaster mental health, medical care, and welfare during disasters. Its work also covers disaster mental health support and community outreach activities.
