The research group including Yusuke Kyuragi, Naoya Oishi, Taro Suwa and Toshiya Murai of Department of Psychiatry at Kyoto University developed a tool to efficiently and accurately segment the habenula, a subcortical structure, on 3 Tesla MR images. Subsequently, they revealed the correlation between the volume of the habenula and the severity of depression.
The research team led by Yusuke Sudo and Yoshiyuki Hirano (Chiba University) conducted a large-scale analysis of brain function imaging through collaborative research with five facilities nationwide, achieving the world's first comprehensive elucidation of brain function abnormalities in anorexia nervosa.
An international consortium including Shinsuke Koike, Kiyoto Kasai, and other researchers from the University of Tokyo, used their own developed classifier to analyze scans from over 2,000 people from 21 global locations. They successfully created a machine learning tool capable of distinguishing between the onset group of high-risk individuals for psychosis and healthy controls with an accuracy exceeding 70%.
A multicenter study of National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, Tohoku University, Chiba University, Kyoto University, Kyushu University and University of Occupational and Environmental Health has advanced to identify brain morphological abnormalities in anorexia nervosa (AN) and the association with severity of AN by brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to conduct exploratory analysis of the whole brain with a large sample size.
