INTRODUCTION

Under the motto of "from Genes to Behavior", the Center for Neuroscience aims to reveal neural mechanisms of higher cognitive functions and apply them to brain diseases. By applying true multidisciplinary approaches on genetically-modified animal models, the Center strives to fully understand the brain mechanisms for cognitive functions from the inclusive levels of molecular, cellular, circuit and system. The Center is also dedicated to nurturing the future of Korean Neuroscience by being a core field-oriented Neuroscience Graduate Program of University of Science and Technology.
