Founded in 1997, National Brain Research Centre (NBRC), Manesar, Gurgaon is an autonomous institute and a nodal centre funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India and accredited with deemed university status. Professor PN Tandon is the founder chairman of the NBRC Society and the founder director was Prof. Vijay lakshmi Ravindranath. The institute at Manesar was formally dedicated to the nation by the then President of India, Dr. APJ Kalam on December 16, 2003. NBRC is the only institute in India dedicated to neuroscience research and education. It boasts scientists and students from diverse academic backgrounds, including biological, computational, mathematical, physical, engineering and medical sciences to employ multidisciplinary approaches to understand the human brain. The mandate of NBRC is to be a Centre of Excellence in Brain Research with state-of-the-art facilities, to evolve the centre through a networking approach and generate highly trained human resource. NBRC research areas comprise all facets of neuroscience, from Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Developmental Neuroscience, Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience to Computational Neuroscience and Brain Imaging. The scientific facilities available at NBRC include DNA Sequencing, DNA Microarray, Whole-cell Intracellular and Extracellular Physiological Recording, Magnetic Resonance Imaging. NBRC ranks first in India in the number of publications in Basic Neuroscience during the period 2006-10.
Spread over 38 acres, the NBRC campus houses the NBRC library equipped with modern facilities and resources in the form of CD-ROMs, on-line databases, e-journals, e-books, audio-video cassettes, books, journals, project reports etc. Other facilities on the campus include a computer centre and the National Neuro Imaging Facility equipped with state-of-the-art equipments such as 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scanner, Electroencephalography (EEG) and Evoked Response Potential Recording (ERP) and laboratories such as Neuroimaging and Neurospectroscopy laboratory, Speech and Language Laboratory (SALLY) and Computational Neuroscience and Neuroimaging Laboratory. The institute also houses a modern animal facility registered with the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) for procuring and breeding a wide variety of species of laboratory animals used as animal models by researchers to understand the human brain in health and disease. All animal species are housed in species-appropriate cages designed on CPCSEA guidelines and are closely monitored by circuit monitoring cameras. The animal facility has a state-of-art surgical suite equipped with intensity controlled surgical lights, advanced surgical microscopes, gas anesthesia machines, equipment for monitoring the physiological state of the animals, including heart rate monitor, pulse-oximeter and rectal thermometer. For cleaning and sterilization of the surgical instruments there is an ultrasonic instrument cleaner, autoclave, glass bead steriliser and ethylene oxide gas steriliser. The animal facility has a necropsy room, perfusion room with a perfusion hood, deep freezer for carcass storage, and incinerator for disposal of the animal carcass.
Courses offered MSc (Neuroscience) NBRC is one of the first Institutes in the country to develop an integrated multidisciplinary teaching programme in Life Sciences. The institute has initiated an M.Sc. Programme in Neuroscience to develop trained manpower having a broad overview of different aspects of Neuroscience. PhD (Neuroscience) Integrated MSc and PhD courses Post Doctoral Fellowships Summer Training and Short-term Programmes The summer training is for a period of 8 weeks conducted by three National Science Academies viz. Indian Academy of Science, Bangalore, Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi and National Academy of Science, Allahabad. Trainees are provided with shared accommodation in the NBRC hostel during the training period and are encouraged to attend seminars and journal clubs organized at the Institute. The summer training projects give students an exposure to Neuroscience and encourage them to consider it as a future career option.
