What we are doing is..

We pursuit the mechanism of brain functions in a bottom-up manner. Our pursuing begins with initial findings of synaptic mechanisms (patch clamp techniques). Based on the synaptic mechanism, we conjure up a plausible neural network dynamics (computer simulation). To test the hypothesis of network dynamics, we do ex vivo and in vivo studies, which involve tagging of neuronal ensembles, in vivo electrophysiological recordings of neural activity, and in vivo Ca2+ imaging (Miniscope). In parallel, we imagine and test the behavioral consequences that may result from our hypothetical network dynamics.

We are constantly looking for talented and highly motivated individuals to join us in our endeavor.

CPL @ SNU has been a gathering place for people from diverse academic backgrounds, including biology, medicine, physics, computer engineering, and psychology, with a common enthusiasm for understanding the cell and network mechanisms of brain funcitons.
