 |
| The Division
of Brain Diseases carries out studies
on molecular and cellular mechanism
of neurodegenerative diseases such as
Alzheimer's disease, stroke and depression
in an effort to understand the causes
and pathogenesis of the diseases. The
division also concentrates on searching
and developing the biological markers
specific for these brain diseases in
order to use early diagnosis. |
|
|
| The generated data are utilized
for the development of diagnostic, therapeutic
and preventive tools for those diseases. Recently,
we set a normal population based cohort in
order to perform epidemiological and genetic
studies for dementia and depression. In 1998,
we started to direct and support brain research
by establishing Biomedical Brain Research
Center (BBRC). BBRC plays a pivotal role in
providing research funds to the neuroscientists
at universities and promoting international
collaborative activities, especially with
Japan, China and India. |
