We research early diagnosis, pathological investigation, and determination of treatment effects for dementia and related diseases by using brain imaging technologies such as PET, SPECT, MEG, and MRI. We also aim to widely apply brain imaging technologies to the development of disease-modifying drugs for dementia.
Conduct research to apply brain imaging techniques such as MEG and functional MRI to nursing and care of dementia.
A technique that enables us to map brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by changes in electrical activity occurring naturally in the neuronal networks.
A procedure that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow in the brain.
Procedures that enable us to evaluate brain activity or pathology as images. Although slightly different, the drugs used in each procedure are similar in the sense that they both use radiotracers specially designed for targets in the brain.
