He was editor-in-chief of Mol Cells and an associate editor for Mol Reproduction & Development. He is currently an editorial board member for Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, Progress in Neurobiology, Neuroendocrinology.
Received numerous accolades, including the MokAm Bioscience Award from the Korean Society of Molecular and Cellular Biology (1997) and an award from the Korea National Academy of Science (2010). He has been a member of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology since 1999.
 
Seog Bae Oh, Dept. of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, SNU  HOMEPAGE
 
Studying the neurobiological basis of neuropathic pain at the molecular, cellular and cognitive levels. Dr. Oh’s research aims to link specific gene targets to their effects on perceptual and emotional outcomes in the context of nerve injury-induced pain.
Recently uncovered a hitherto unknown role of the TRPV1 receptor in mediating spinal disinhibition and mechanical pain behaviour after peripheral nerve injury and elucidated a mechanism supporting the effectiveness of centrally administered TRPV1 antagonist drugs in neuropathic pain.
High-impact publications including Neuron, the Journal of Neuroscience, Pain and the Journal of Biochemistry as well as reviews and invited chapters in pain-related publications.
 
Systems & Cognitive Neuroscience unit
 
 
Sang-Hun Lee, Dept. of Brain and Cognitive Science, SNU  HOMEPAGE
 
The major goal of Dr. Lee’s research is to understand the neuronal mechanisms involved in the encoding of sensory inputs and the representation and decoding of relevant information from populations of active neurons.
His laboratory combines fMRI, computational modeling and psychophysics to address how sensory and non-sensory information flows in the human brain are combined to contribute to decisive resolutions of perceptual choices under an environment with high degrees of uncertainty.
High-impact publications in journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, PNAS and the Journal of Neuroscience.
Recent computational neuroimaging studies of cortical point spread functions, choice probability, motion adaptation and time perception in the human visual cortex have been published in top journals in the cognitive/systems neuroscience field.
 
Inah Lee, Dept. of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, SNU  HOMEPAGE
 
The goals of Dr. Lee’s research are to elucidate how the brain learns a new event and retrieves an event memory effectively to produce adaptive behavior. Event memory under investigation includes object recognition memory, visual contextual memory, and object-place memory.
His main techniques are to test rodents in memory tasks to uncover the functional relationships between brain areas and cognitive functions. Main techniques include perturbation techniques using drug injections and lesions. His lab also monitors the electrophysiological activities of a large number of single units simultaneously and local field potentials in freely moving animals.
He has published articles in high-impact journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, and The Journal of Neuroscience.
Recent behavioral and neurophysiological studies for investigating neural networks (hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, striatum, and perirhinal cortex) pertaining to contextual choice behavior appeared in top-tier journals related to systems of neuroscience.
 
Randolph Blake, Dept. of Psychology, Vanderbilt University  HOMEPAGE
 
Studying important aspects of perception by blending psychophysics, neural modeling and brain imaging.
Acknowledged as a world expert on rivalry and perceptual bistability. Devised clever, revealing "psychoanatomical" strategies for identifying the neural sites of action within human vision.
Dr. Blake's work on the role of the temporal structure in spatial grouping is highly original and has sparked keen interest in that topic.
His 1989 Psychological Review paper on rivalry, the most widely cited theoretical paper on that topic, stimulated an explosion of interest in the phenomena within cognitive neuroscience and neurophysiology.
High-impact publications in Nature (13) and Science (9). His research impact factor is 61.
Coauthor of a widely used textbook on perception (Blake & Sekular, 2005, Perception, McGraw-Hill) now in its fifth edition.
Numerous prestigious awards, including Elected Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Science 2006; Earl Sutherland Award, 2000; APA, Early Career Award, 1977; Thomas Jefferson Award, 2008; IgNobel Prize, 2006; National Academy of Sciences, 2012.
