The brain is a sophisticated system comprising a vast network of intricately connected neurons. The development of psychiatric disorders is closely linked to abnormalities between these neurons. At Ace Therapeutics, we are dedicated to leveraging our expertise and platform technologies to assist our clients in elucidating the connections between psychiatric disorders and neurons in the brain. Our findings will assist you in making progress toward more accurate diagnoses of psychiatric disorders and the development of innovative therapies.

Our Strategies for Studying Neuronal Activity in Psychiatric Disorders

At Ace Therapeutics, we utilize a range of cellular and animal models, molecular biology techniques, electrophysiological techniques, and neuroimaging techniques to assist our clients in analyzing the aberrant neuronal activity associated with psychiatric disorders. Our goal is to elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. Our research process comprises the following key steps:

• Cellular and animal model selection

Our team of experts has extensive experience in modeling psychiatric disorders and can select the appropriate cell or animal model for in-depth research based on our clients' needs. Whether you need an animal model with a specific genetic background or a cellular model that mimics the effects of specific environmental factors, we are able to provide customized solutions.

• Neuronal activity monitoring in the brain

Ace Therapeutics scientists have cutting-edge technology and expertise in monitoring and analyzing neuronal activity. Our capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• In vivo and in vitro electrophysiological analysis: We comprehensively monitor the firing patterns of neurons through in vivo and in vitro electrophysiological analysis techniques to reveal their changes in states of psychiatric disorders.
• Neural circuit analysis: We analyze functional and structural abnormalities in the brain's neural circuits to identify neural networks associated with psychiatric disorders, thereby revealing the pathological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders as well as potential therapeutic targets.
• Neuroimaging analysis: Ace Therapeutics develops a variety of neuroimaging techniques for mapping the dynamic response of brain networks in animal models. In addition, we utilize emerging imaging technologies to look for underlying neurological abnormalities in patients with psychiatric disorders, thus providing potential imaging markers for early identification and diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.
• Pharmacological studies: We can also assess the effects of different therapies on neuronal activity through drug intervention experiments. This helps to determine the mechanism of action of drugs and provides data to support the development of new therapies.
