The laboratory was approved to establish the Chongqing Key Laboratory of Neurology in 2006 and the Chongqing Key Laboratory of Major Neuropsychiatric Diseases in April 2021. Relying on the existing national key disciplines and clinical specialties, the laboratory integrates multidisciplinary disciplines such as Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurosurgery, and Imaging, and combines modern technologies such as multiple biomics, bio-big data analysis, high-throughput Combining modern technologies such as biomics, big data analysis, high-throughput scanning and induced stem cells, the laboratory conducts clinical and basic research in five directions of neuropsychiatric diseases (neurological seizure disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric disorders, brain injury and repair, and cerebrovascular disorders).
The laboratory now has a total area of about 1250 square meters, with cell culture room, molecular biology laboratory, neuromuscular pathology room, electrophysiology room, precision instrumentation room, pathology and immunohistochemistry room, PCR room, embryo electrotransformation room, neurocircuitry room, animal behavioral room, neurological injury and protection room and other experimental platforms. The laboratory now has the U.S. MDC brain slice diaphragm clamp system, PeriCam PSI brain injury assessment system, Leica SR5 fluorescence confocal micro-imaging system, Leica Thunder high-speed live cell imaging system, PINNACLE electroencephalography EEG and EMG detection system, NEPAGENE high-efficiency nuclear electrotransfer system, Leica VTS1300 Vibratory Slicer, TBI-0310 Cranial Brain Injury Instrument, Leica CM1950 Cryostat, Promega Glomax96 Microplate Chemiluminescence Instrument, ABI Gradient PCR Instrument, PerkElmer Multi-Mode Microplate Detection System, Bio-Rad Fluorescence Quantitative PCR, Leica Inverted Fluorescence Microscope, Olympus Inverted Fluorescence Leica inverted fluorescence microscope, Olympus inverted fluorescence microscope, Nikon orthogonal fluorescence microscope, Inper and ThinkerTech Optogenetic Stimulation System, Animal Scenario Fear Experiment System, and routine molecular and cellular biology, and other exclusive research equipment.
