Researchers in our department have a variety of backgrounds including medicine, science, life science, engineering, pharmacy, linguistics, pedagogy, psychology, and the arts, and work energetically on a wide range of studies of brain science, from brain dynamics research, which is designed to determine the metabolism and circulation of brain cells in small animals, to functional brain imaging research, which creates images of the working of the mind, to social technology study, which applies the findings of these studies to educational and welfare fields.
We hope that many motivated students and researchers will join our team.
Comment from Prof. Kawashima
A Happy New Year!
We will install a MEG system in this March. 3T-MRI, multi-channel EEG, TMS, NIRS, wearable NIRS, and 2-channel NIRS systems are already installed in our laboratory. As for the animal brain research, we have 7T-MRI, 2Photon Laser Scanning Microscope, Patch-Clamp, and Multi-channel Electrophysiological Recording systems. We, therefore, flatter ourselves that our laboratory have almost all necessary apparatus for human brain imaging researches, and that we now become one of the most significant brain imaging centers in the world. In house English speaking courses have been operating successfully from the last October. So that we feel proud that we can offer young researchers to be able to active at the international research communities.
We hope doctor and master course students and young researchers who have strong desire to make a success in the basic brain researchers.

The Smart Ageing International Research Center (Director: Professor Ryuta Kawashima M.D.) was founded on 1 October 2009. As an international research center, the purposes of the Center are to open up a new research field of integrated aging science to respond to the challenge of a superaging society and to contribute to the formation of a sustainable, highly mature society through state-of-the-art smart aging research.
