Examination of relations between dysfunction by drinking and cerebral disease

Aging is progressing in our country and therefore, cerebral disease is becoming a serious problem. Aged and cerebral disease patient support is a useful research theme. Because drinking is closely related to cerebral disease, we assess the degree of decline of cognitive ability and memory ability caused by drinking with a recognition test using cerebral disease patients. From the decline of nonlanguage function and the influence on judgment ability, we could make the condition look like the early symptoms of vascular dementia. In the next experiment, we synthesised a face image based on pictures of a drinking subject´s face, and examined the AU (action unit). We confirm the existence of an AU corresponding to each facial expression
