Overview

Neurology is a field that continues to rapidly advance, driven by recent progress in neuroscience. The mechanisms and treatment strategies for many previously unexplained neurological disorders are now being elucidated, and even greater developments are anticipated in the years to come. Our department is committed to providing education that enables students and trainees to acquire diagnostic skills based on the localized assessment of neuromuscular disorders, evaluate disease states, and appropriately apply the latest treatments. At the same time, we conduct in-depth investigations into disease onset and the underlying pathophysiology. Our research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, muscle disorders, and autoimmune neuromuscular diseases. Using neuromuscular tissue samples, we perform molecular pathological analyses, electrophysiological studies, and molecular genetic investigations to elucidate disease mechanisms and identify new therapeutic approaches. In addition, we are engaged in research related to the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. This includes studies using ultrasound imaging to analyze disease conditions and clinical data-driven investigations to enhance our understanding and management of neurological disorders.
