Moonshot Goal7 Isa Project
We will develop methods to enhance cognitive function by promoting the reservoir function, which involves inducing the activation and plasticity of intact neurons, in addition to traditional methods that prevent Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Through this, we aim to realize a society where people can maintain a healthy brain up to the age of 100.
