| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated intra-cortical neural connectivity in human brain using the latest non-invasive magnetoencephalography system (MEG). We focused to clarify distribution of neural signals in somatosensory cortex in young and elderly subjects and patients with central and peripheral neurological disorders. We found that inhibitory neural activity was enhanced in the elderly subjects and patients with peripheral neuropathy than in young subjects.
