We have established a cognitive function outpatient clinic where we provide precise diagnosis and treatment through examination and testing of suspected cases of cognitive decline, as well as consultation on treatment decisions and coping strategies for severe dementia with peripheral symptoms. In addition, we are actively introducing new drugs for Alzheimer&＃8217;s disease that have recently begun to be used in clinical practice, and are participating in many clinical trials and new drug development for dementia. In clinical research, we elucidate the pathophysiology of dementia and cognitive impairment across all ages using state-of-the-art imaging and physiological examinations, and disseminate our findings to the world. Furthermore, we aim to provide better medical care through clinical research to solve problems such as polypharmacy and delirium in geriatric medicine. Moreover, we are vigorously engaged in basic research to solve the challenges posed by the super-aging society. To this end, we are promoting joint industry-academia research that utilizes the university&＃8217;s diverse research seeds while collaborating with many companies. Our department covers a wide range of areas related to the health of the elderly, including brain development, aging, lifestyle habits, and genetic factors. Specifically, we are conducting intervention studies to clarify how various factors related to daily life, such as dietary habits, exercise habits, and artistic activities, affect the physical function, cognitive function, and psychological state of the elderly. Ultimately, we aim to connect the results obtained through joint industry-academia research to social implementation, recognizing that responding to the super-aging society is an important issue that universities and industry should work together to address.   About Us IDAC’s Mission Statement Greeting &＃038; Mission Notable Alumni History of IDAC IDAC&＃8217;s Affiliations News &＃038; Events Research Facilities &＃038; Faculty Research Facilities Common Facilities Resources &＃038; Equipment Brain Imaging Cell Center Equipment Admission &＃038; Courses Mechanisms of Aging Overcoming Intractable Cancers Overcoming Age-Related Brain Diseases Achieving &＃8220;Smart-Aging&＃8221; Public Relations &＃038; Info.
