Welcome to the GCNI Core Facilities at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, a hub for neuroscience innovation, collaboration, and discovery. Our state-of-the-art instrumentation and experienced technical support enable researchers to tackle complex questions in brain science, from fundamental mechanisms to disease models.

Our facilities provide access to advanced tools for in vivo experiments, including high-resolution neural imaging, large-scale electrophysiological recordings, and simultaneous PET/MR scans.

The Miniaturized Two-Photon Microscopy system offers lightweight, volumetric imaging, optogenetic stimulation, and the ability to study neural circuit dynamics in freely behaving animals.

The Neuropixels Core Lab with Behavioral Suite features high-density silicon probes for large-scale extracellular recordings, allowing simultaneous tracking of hundreds of neurons across multiple brain regions during behavior, unified with real-time video and controlled sensory stimulation.

The Small Animal PET/MR Imaging Center delivers simultaneous 7T PET and MRI scanning, complete with advanced physiological monitoring and radiotracer applications tailored for rodent studies.

Whether your work aims to map brain function, probe neural dynamics, or investigate models of neurological disorders, the GCNI Core Facilities offer both the infrastructure and expertise to accelerate your research.
