The laboratory was modestly founded in 1924 by Rolv Gjessing, MD. The aims were to apply clinical chemistry and pathophysiology in the examination of psychiatric patients, and undertake psychosomatic research. Using these means, Gjessing made thorough studies of patients with periodic catatonia. He is considered the founder of biologic psychiatry and the founder of psychiatric chemistry. Rolf Gjessing's son, Professor Leiv Gjessing, who succeeded his father in 1959, expanded the laboratory's scientific and practical activities. In addition to profound follow-up studies of periodic catatonia, he has studied new and important problems within psychiatry and related subjects. In 1986 the laboratory was transformed into the Research Institute for Neuro-Psychiatry, with the medical scientist Lars Mørkrid as head. The institution, in the light of its results and broad scientific contact and cooperation, is a unique medical institution in Norway with an international reputation.
该实验室于1924年由医学博士罗尔夫·耶辛斯适度创建。其目标是将临床化学和病理生理学应用于精神病患者的检查，并进行身心研究。通过这些方法，耶辛斯对周期性紧张症患者进行了深入研究。他被认为是生物精神病学的创始人以及精神科化学的创始人。罗尔夫·耶辛斯的儿子莱夫·耶辛斯教授于1959年继承了父亲的事业，扩大了实验室的科研和实践活动。除了对周期性紧张症进行深入的随访研究外，他还研究了精神病学及相关学科中的新的重要问题。1986年，该实验室转变为神经精神病学研究所，由医学科学家拉尔斯·莫克里德担任负责人。鉴于其研究成果以及广泛的科学联系与合作，该机构是挪威一家具有国际声誉的独特医疗机构。
