Neuroscience Colloquium - Sung-Yon Kim, Ph.D.

Lecture Title: Transforming Body Signals into Behavior

Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry
Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Seoul National University

Sung-Yon Kim is an associate professor in neuroscience at Seoul National University. His research focuses on understanding the neural circuits and mechanisms that drive various emotional states and innate survival behaviors, such as ingestion and aggression. He aims to uncover how these processes are regulated in normal brains and how they may become dysregulated in various conditions

Research Interests
