| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Decrease in cerebral blood flow was reported in depressed individuals. We aimed at making an animal model of this using rats. We succeeded in visualization of small cerebral vessels on the surface of rat brain by infusing ICG. By taking a short video, we were able to analyze the actual blood flow. In addition, my using a device emitting a special light that is absorbed only by hemoglobin, we were able to visualize vessels as small as 0.2 mm. This was tested in human veins of the fingertips. By analyzing the time difference of its brightness, we could evaluate the amount of blood flow.
