Facilities
The Laboratory of Neurobiology is equipped of:
- a specialized animal house with
a confined zone (level A1 and
A2)
- a platform of therapeutic assays
allowing to administrate the
various medications by intramuscular or intravascular way. This is a
confined
zone (L1-L2) furnished with all suitable equipments needed (table of
surgery,
monitor of anaesthesia and ventilator, brightness amplifier,
angiography
equipment, pumps for pressure injection, etc.)
- a cell culture
room dedicated
to the preparation of the cellular medications
- a platform of evaluation to
check the administrated treatment efficiency.
This allows to conduct functional explorations (clinical score,
accelerometry, recording of the muscle force in
vivo) and histological analyses.
In addition, the laboratory acquired recent
tools for the data storage
(CLOVIS software for the clinical and paraclinic data), analysis
softwares
(analysis of Visilog and radiographic images) and digital
video cameras
allowing to supervise the clinical state of the animals (anaesthesia
exit, births)
and to quantify their motor activity and/or their behaviour.
