Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to clarify a characteristic of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging of older adults with subjective cognitive impairment. We examined the cognitive function and the brain imaging of the subjects. We performed the cross-sectional comparison of the brain imaging between the low memory group and the high memory group, and there are no significant differences. It needs to increase the number of subjects.
