Min Whan Jung is a Professor of Biological Sciences at KAIST, specializing in neuroscience. Their research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying spatial learning, memory, and decision-making processes. By examining the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, Jung investigates how neural circuits and population coding contribute to spatial navigation, working memory, and reinforcement learning. They also explore the role of specific brain regions, such as the striatum and orbitofrontal cortex, in value-based decision-making and fear conditioning. Additionally, their work includes studies on neurodegenerative processes and potential therapeutic interventions using compounds like ginsenosides and asiaticoside derivatives.
