The CNC core is composed of faculty members (Jeehyun Kwag, Inah Lee, Suk-Ho Lee, and Hyung Jin Choi) with a strong foundational science character, studying the fundamental mechanisms of how the biological actions of neurons and neuralcircuits lead to cognitive functions, mind actions, and behavior.

The CNS core consists of faculty members (Sang-Hun Lee, Sang Ah Lee, and Hyeon-Ae Jeon) who use research techniques to study and apply the principles of brain cognitive science at the systems (i.e., large network) level, which are essential not only for uncovering the neural mechanisms of how our minds work but also for applying the scientific discoveries to clinical and engineering fields.

The ABC core consists of faculty members (Ki Woong Kim and Euitae Kim) who investigate the mechanisms of brain’s cognitive functions and regulation techniques targeting patients with brain and mental illnesses, closely aligning with actual current and future societal issues.
