In the Project scientific tasks (3–6) are divided between Partners on the basis of their experiences, know-how as well as research and technical capabilities: Task 3. Computational chemistry – Tromsø; Leader: UiT Task 4. Molecular modeling, synthesis and biology – Warsaw; Leader: – NMI Task 5. Medicinal chemistry – Kraków; Leader: IP-PAS Task 6. Biochemistry and pharmacology – Kraków; Leader: IP-PAS Task 6. Biochemical and pharmacological experiments at Institute of Pharmacology are focused on functional assays to characterize activity of mGluR ligands, and on behavioral tests (e.g. tail suspension test, forced swim test, elevated plus-maze test, modified stress induced test, hypothermia and locomotor activity) that are necessary to detect antidepressant and or anxiolytic activity of new compounds.

	Project PNRF –103–AI-1/07 is supported by a grant from Norway through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism within Polish-Norwegian Research Fund
