Clinical Neurology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The neurology lab works to understand, protect, and treat the brain.
AboutAbout the lab
Knowing, protecting, and healing the brain
Guided by the motto "World Class Care and Research," the lab works to "know," "protect," and "heal" the brain from the standpoint of clinical neuroscience.
The lab aims to deliver the best medical care to patients with the neurological diseases that are increasing in a super-aged society, to clarify disease mechanisms using various neuroscience methods, and to develop new treatments and preventive methods.
Through education at every stage, from clinical clerkships for undergraduates to postgraduate training and research supervision, the lab trains the next generation of neurologists.
Key terms
- Neurodegenerative disease
- A disease in which nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are gradually lost, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease
- Epilepsy
- A disease in which nerve cells in the brain become excessively excited and cause repeated seizures
- Machine learning
- A computer method that learns patterns from data in order to make predictions and classifications
ResearchResearch themes
Three main labs advance research, each using the techniques it specializes in.
*Illustrative imageNeuropathology
The group holds conferences examining the brains of deceased patients, and studies diseased brains using immunohistochemistry and biochemistry.
*Illustrative imageNeurophysiology
The group applies methods such as network analysis, decoding of brain information, and machine learning to human data such as EEG and brain imaging, to clarify normal higher brain function and the pathology of epilepsy, dementia, and movement disorders as systems.
*Illustrative imageMolecular Biology and Neurochemistry
Focusing on the accumulation of abnormal proteins and their spread from cell to cell, the group studies diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease-related disorders, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and to create ways to prevent and treat them.
