Psychiatry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab seeks to understand mental illness through both the brain and psychological and social factors.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding mental illness through both brain and mind.
Psychiatry was established in 1902 as the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology, and it has played a central role in clinical practice and research in Japanese psychiatry.
The lab has left a significant mark in psychopathology, neuropsychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, neuropathology, and epileptology.
While carrying on its tradition of emphasizing clinical research, the lab also flexibly adopts new research methods such as neuroimaging.
Its greatest feature is that its various research groups work without barriers and interact with one another, and from this interaction they produce results in clinical care, research, and education.
