F irst, NIPS is conducting cutting-edge research in the physiological sciences at many levels - from the molecule to the system or whole organism -- and to elucidate the mechanisms of living body function by integrating the research results from the different levels. Second, as an inter-university research institute, we are conducting joint studies with researchers from domestic or foreign universities and research institutes by using specialized equipments and large-scale research facilities.
■ Specialized equipments and large-scale facilities for joint researches
■ Center for Multidisciplinary Brain Research (CMBR)

Since April 2008, the "Center for Multidisciplinary Brain Research (CMBR)" has benn set up by the Government support in the NIPS in order to promote collaborative researches and education of multidisciplinary brain sciences with the efforsts of many brain researchers.
