GIGA-NeurosciencesThe GIGA-neurosciences unit was established at the University of Liege in 1999 as the Center for Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology (CNCM). The center at that time consisted of various laboratories which shared a common interest : the nervous system. Scattered geographically in 1999, these laboratories were combined into a single site in June 2005. During the move, a real pooling of technical resources of each laboratory was done, and led to the establishment of five technical platforms: cell culture, histology, molecular biology, electrophysiology and confocal imaging. Much more than just a pooling of technical resources, this consolidation has allowed scientific interactions among groups and researchers, resulting in an increase in the quality of work and the results reflected currently in terms of publications. In 2009, the CNCM integrated GIGA-Research as "Neurosciences" thematic unit. This unit has established strong links with the clinical departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Neuropsychology the University Hospital, and with the Cyclotron Research Center focussed on functional neuroimaging technologies. The GIGA-neurosciences unit promotes the exchange of research findings, especially the knowledge of new techniques, and provides the necessary facilitis for students to become Neuroscientists.
