本プロジェクトでの研究概要Outline of the research in this project
Our project aims to develop an ensemble brain stimulation method that stimulates multiple areas of the brain as neuromodulation to enhance reserver function. This will lead to the development of neuromodulation methods useful for improving cognitive function. After confirming the effect in healthy subjects, we aim to apply the method to diseased brains to enhance cognitive and motor functions. In addition, an experimental evaluation system will be developed to measure the ability of dementia patients to perform a double task by modulating brain function networks with non-invasive brain stimulation (joint research with Matsumoto group). We will also support the introduction of transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS) at Kyoto University, which is capable of deep brain stimulation including the hippocampus and other areas. An evaluation system of cortical-deep brain network function is developing by using the TMS-EEG recording as an evaluation method for the brain stimulation interventions. While preliminarily performing the clinical application of the ensemble brain stimulation to diseased brains, we will propose its translation to primate models (in collaboration with the Higo Group).
これまで主な研究内容Outline of main research so far
As a physiatrist specialized for rehabilitation medicine, I have seen many patients with functional disorders in clinical practice. Then, I have focused on brain plasticity, which is the basis of recovery from functional disorders, and have conducted research on functional enhancement and functional recovery in healthy subjects and patients. Now, we are developing a hybrid rehabilitation method that combines noninvasive brain stimulation methods (transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), etc.) with rehabilitation therapy as an intervention method to enhance brain plasticity and increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy. We have also developed the closed-loop stimulation in collaboration with the engineering researchers, in which brain stimulation is coupled with peripheral movements to induce associative plasticity. It has enabled functional recovery even in a patient with intractable dysfunction. We are also analyzing the neural basis of functional enhancement and functional recovery using EEG, EMG, fMRI, and other techniques to lead development of further functional recovery methods.
