The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) is a research institution dedicated to discovering what causes mental illness and diseases of the brain. In addition, its aim is to help identify new treatments for them and ways to prevent them in the first place. The IoPPN is a school of King's College London, England, previously known as Institute of Psychiatry (IoP). The Institute works closely with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Many senior academic staff also work as honorary consultants for the Trust in clinical services such as the National Psychosis Unit at Bethlem Royal Hospital. The impact of the Institute's work was judged to be 100% 'world-leading' or 'internationally-excellent' in the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=REF 2014 results announced )〕 The research environment of the Institute was also rated 100% 'world-leading'.〔 According to the 2016 ''US News Ranking'', King's College London was ranked second in the world in Psychiatry and Psychology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best Global Universities for Psychiatry/Psychology )〕 ==History== The IoPPN shares a great deal of its history with the Maudsley Hospital, with which it shares the location of its main building. It was part of the original plans of Frederick Mott and Henry Maudsley - inspired by the Munich institute of Emil Kraepelin - that the hospital would include facilities for teaching and research in 1896.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our history )〕 In 1914, London County Council agreed to establish a hospital in Denmark Hill and Mott’s plan began to take shape. The Maudsley Hospital was opened in 1923 as a result of a donation by Henry Maudsley.〔 Originally established as the "Maudsley Hospital Medical School" in 1924, it changed its name to the ''Institute of Psychiatry'' in 1948, with Aubrey Lewis appointed to the inaugural Chair of Psychiatry (which he held until his retirement in 1966). The main Institute building was opened in 1967 and contains lecture theatres, administrative offices, library and canteen. In 1959 a group of genetic/eugenic researchers led by Eliot Slater were given Medical Research Council funding to establish themselves as the 'MRC Psychiatric Genetics Unit'. Although this closed down in 1969, psychiatric genetics continued, eventually as the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre (SGDP Centre) which moved in to new purpose-built building in 2002. In 1997, the Institute had split from the Maudsley and become instead a school of King's College London.〔 The Henry Wellcome building was opened in 2001 and houses most of the IoPPN's psychology department. In 2004, a new Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences (CNS) was opened which provides offices, lab space, and access to two MRI scanners for neuroimaging research. In 2014 the Institute was renamed to the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), as the remit of the Institute was broadened to include all brain and behavioural sciences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=From IoP to IoPPN )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
