本创新群体由北京大学医学部神经科学和精神病学国家重点学科的9名教授（博士生导师）组成，包括3名长江学者、3名国家杰出青年基金获得者和2名973首席科学家。群体依托教育部神经科学重点实验室和卫生部精神病学重点实验室，组成密切的研究团队，共同承担973等多项课题，在神经精神疾病的神经可塑性机制研究方向取得了突出成绩。在创新研究群体基金的资助下，过去3年在Nat Commun、Biol Psychiatry、PNAS、Schizophr Bul、Neuropsychopharmacology等重要期刊发表SCI 论文51篇（其中IF>5的论文19篇）。研究成果获2013年高等学校科学研究优秀成果奖（自然科学奖）一等奖、2015年中华医学科技奖二等奖以及2014年国家科技进步二等奖等学术奖励。在以往工作基础上，本研究群体将从神经环路、分子机制、环境与基因调控和电生理等角度继续深入研究“精神疾病的神经可塑性机制”，争取在三至五年内取得有重大影响的原创性学术成果，吸引和培养新的学科带头人和领军人才，形成具有国际知名度的创新研究群体。

Our study group consists of nine professors and doctoral supervisors from the Key Laboratory for Neuroscience, Ministry of Education and the Key Laboratory for Mental Health, Ministry of Health in Peking University Health Science Center, including three Chang Jiang Scholars, three National Outstanding Youth Fund winners, and two 973 Programm Chief Scientists. The group members constituted an innovative team and undertook a number of projects including the 973 programm, and have made outstanding achievements in research of neural plasticity mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disease. During the past three years, we have published 51 papers in SCI journals such as Nat Commun, Biol Psychiatry, PNAS, Schizophr Bul, Neuropsychopharmacology. The research achievements have been awarded the first prize of Scientific Research in Natural Science of Universities in 2013, the second prize of China Medical Science and Technology Progress Award in 2015 and the second Award for Nation Science Development in 2014.Based on previous work, our group plans to further investigate “neural plasticity mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders” in the aspect of neural circuit, molecular mechanism, environment and gene regulation and physiological function. We aim to make great original academic achievements in three to five years, to attract and foster new academic leaders and leading talents, and to form a research team with international impact in the field of neural plasticity.
