Abstract:
The AMED Brain/MINDS Beyond (BMB) Human Brain MRI (BMB HBM) project aims to gain a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders and identify clinical biomarkers using large-scale magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. To achieve these objectives, we established a novel MRI protocol using high-resolution multimodal images and implemented the scanning protocol in traveling subjects at 13 research centers and performed prospective and retrospective data harmonization. The BMB project is expected to enable high-quality multi-site MRI harmonization and promote international collaboration for standardized diagnosis of neuropsychiatric diseases based on neuroimaging.
