Technology and materials are extremely important in the study of brain science. Research Resources Center (RRC) is a support system for scientific technologies at Brain Science Institute (BSI). RRC has numerous facilities and equipment available for common use, and maintains and manages these. Trained technical staff in the RRC provide technological services for all labs at BSI as shown in the chart. New arrangements for facilities, equipment and technical services are made at the requests either of a research laboratory and RRC or Steering Committee.
The RRC consists of three support units, Support Unit for Animal Resources Development, Bio-Material Analysis, and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
