Neuropsychiatric disorders represent some of the most enigmatic conditions within the central nervous system, blending cognitive, emotional, and motor dysfunctions. At MuriPhys, we approach these challenges with precision, offering tailored preclinical models and specialized drug delivery systems designed to unravel the complexities of neuropsychiatric diseases.

Our service range connects CNS delivery, behavioral assays and appropriate recordings for studies relevant to schizophrenia, anxiety and dementias. Model choice and readouts are agreed around the scientific question.

Disorders We Specialize In:

Schizophrenia research can use appropriate IPa, ICV or IT delivery with learning, memory and sensory-gating tests. EEG can characterize relevant brain activity. Each method addresses defined features of the chosen model. Schizophrenia Read more.

Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety manifests through a complex interplay of neural circuits, often resistant to traditional pharmacology. MuriPhys utilizes precise CNS delivery methods to target limbic and prefrontal regions. Behavioral assays, including open field, elevated maze, and shuttle box tests, measure anxiety responses, while electrophysiological recordings reveal disruptions in neural activity, guiding the development of next-generation anxiolytics.

Dementia research can combine study-appropriate IPa, ICV or IT delivery with Y-maze, novel-object-recognition or other suitable tests. EEG can characterize brain activity. Model suitability and interpretation are defined for the specific question. Dementias Read More.

Why MuriPhys for Neuropsychiatric Research?

  • Targeted CNS Delivery: Our precision delivery systems enable localized drug administration to the regions most affected by neuropsychiatric disorders, supporting high specificity and reproducibility.
  • Behavioral Testing: Select assays for defined cognitive, anxiety-related, sensory or motor features of the model.
  • Electrophysiology: EEG measures brain activity, while EMG measures muscle electrical activity. Their roles and analyses are defined separately in the study plan.
  • Customized Research Programs: Neuropsychiatric disorders demand multifaceted approaches. MuriPhys tailors every aspect of the study to reflect the specific pathophysiology of each condition, driving more precise and impactful results.
