Current topics

Research area in psychiatry has been expanded as the number of treatable clinical disorders has increased along with the development of neuroscience. Based on the wide clinical field (Fig.1), we are trying to integrate the psychopathological studies and neurobiological investigations in order to investigate the pathophysiology and etiology of mental illnesses and to develop new therapies (fig.2). We are also extending international collaboration projects with foreign research groups, in particular the Cambridge Neurobiology Group (Director : Prof.P.C.Emson, Babraham Insitute, UK).
  1. Juntendo Universtity Schizophrenia Project (JUSP)
  2. Juntendo University Alzheimer Project (JUAP)

These projects are multi-disciplinary and comprehensive study on the pathogenesis and etiology of schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and mood disorder (Fig.2).
