Abstract : Despite its inherent toxicity, H2O2 is produced in a regulated fashion by many mammalian cell types as a signaling molecule that mediates numerous biological responses. H2O2 is distinct from other messenger molecules, however, in that it acts not by […]
Abstract : My research group has been studying chemical reactions in microdroplets and comparing the findings with the behavior of the same reaction in bulk solution. Our detection method has been a high-resolution mass spectrometer. Two different experimental setups are employed, […]
Abstract : We started centenarian study in 1992, to know the biomedical characteristics of centenarian. During this first wave study, we found the centenarian is a fascinating people who experienced many life events, sometimes sad and sometime happy. We thought that […]
Abstract : Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. In patient studies, various lesions have been known to be related to specific language deficits. In the […]
Abstract : Presynaptic glutamate released by the certain type of neural activities can activate N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptors (NMDARs) in postsynaptic dendrites, leading to induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) at many excitatory synapses. However, recent studies have also suggested possible […]
Abstract : Manic episodes are one of the major diagnostic symptoms in a spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders that include schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder (BD). Despite a possible association between BD and the gene encoding phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCG1), its etiological […]
Abstract : In this talk, I will discuss the nature of innovation in research, drawing mainly from my experience as a neurobiologist. I will address six aspects of innovative research – novelty, significance, continuity, completeness, uniqueness, and timeliness – and these […]
Abstract : Increasing evidence suggests that language learning, knowledge, and use crucially depend on two learning and memory systems in the brain: declarative memory and procedural memory. These systems, which also exist in other vertebrate species, appear to have been co-opted […]
Abstract : KIST has carried out wide range of research and development in high-temperature solid oxide cells for energy conversion and storage applications including fuel cells and electrolysis. The ultimate goal of fuel cell research is to develop the high-performance, low-cost, […]
Abstract : In spite of an admirable progress in reducing the content of platinum in polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) electrodes the electrocatalyst cost accounts for nearly half of the PEFC stack cost and for a quarter of the anticipated cost […]
