Welcome to the Japanese Society of Neurology.

It is a privilege to serve as President of the Society at a time of remarkable progress in neuroscience and neurological care. Building on the achievements of our predecessors, we remain committed to advancing neurology through excellence in clinical practice, research, education, and collaboration.

Neurological disorders represent one of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time. Our mission is to improve neurological health across the entire continuum of care—from prevention and early diagnosis to innovative treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term support. Achieving this goal requires close partnerships among patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and society as a whole.

During my presidency, we will promote collaborative research, support the development of the next generation of neurologists, strengthen the quality and accessibility of neurological care throughout Japan, and enhance public understanding of our specialty. We will also expand international collaboration and increase the global visibility of scientific and clinical achievements originating from Japan, while fostering meaningful patient and public involvement in our activities.

The Japanese Society of Neurology is a diverse and collaborative community united by a shared commitment to improving the lives of people affected by neurological disorders. I look forward to working together with our members and partners to shape the future of neurology in Japan and contribute to neurological health worldwide.
