Overview
The 21st century has been designated as "The Century of the Brain". To lead Japanese surgical neuroscience, we have devoted our activities to the following: advanced clinical neurosurgery, neuroscience research and graduate and postgraduate education.
Projects
- Skull base surgery in managing benign or malignant skull base tumors and cerebrovascular disorders
- Genetic analysis of cerebrovascular diseases and benign brain tumors
- Functional neurosurgery including epilepsy surgery
- Multi-omics analysis of brain tumors (genetic analysis)
- Development of new therapeutic strategies for malignant brain tumors
- Development of novel fluorescence probes for brain tumors
- Radiogenomics of brain tumors
- Clinical study on gamma-knife surgery
- Application of brain functional imaging for neurosurgery
- Application of VR technology for surgical simulation
