In this project, we aim to reveal chronological changes of micro/macro-neurocircuit pathologies focusing on the commonality and specificity across multiple types of degenerative dementia. We elucidate morphological,functional and molecular bases of neurodegenerative dementia,and apply the knowledge to therapeutic development. This group also supports collaboration with the central institutes and with the other clinical research groups.
