연구 주제

Experimental ischemic stroke: I have studied about neuronal damage and protection in the ischemic brain.
Neurogenesis: I have studied on endogenous neurogenesis in the brain during normal aging or in the damaged brain.
CNS aging: I have examined the morphological changes with neurosubstances in the brain during normal aging.
Medicines for neuroprotection, neurogenesis and anti-aging in the CNS: I have examined many medicines including extracts of foods and plants that protect neuronal damage or aging and enhance neurogenesis.

연구실 소개: Neurobiology is an integral part of understanding of the brain´s structures and functions. The Department of Neurobiology is devoted to the study of the brain (its organization and functioning in health and diseases). To address a complete understanding of the brain´s functions, we adopt an integrative approach ? the techniques and concepts used in our investigations are taken from a wide range of disciplines, including, basically, neuroanatomy, additionally, neurophysiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, biophysics, and behavioral neurobiology. In the Department of Neurobiology, aging-related neurodegeneration and cerebrovascular disease have become major concerns in researches. Focus of the research is on neuronal damage and protection in the ischemic brain, on endogenous neurogenesis in the brain during normal aging or in the damaged brain, on the morphological changes with neurosubstances in the normal aged brain, and on the medicines for neuroprotection, neurogenesis and anti-aging in the CNS.
