The Institute of Neuroscience (ION) in Shanghai is one of the world’s leading neurobiological research centers, comprising 50 laboratories. Seoul National University Hospital is likewise one of the premier educational and research institutions in the field of neurology in the Far East. We are proud that large delegations from both countries visited our research institute, led by the Directors of these two highly prestigious institutions. Our colleagues received with great interest the presentations on the 3D-AO microscope and the Mocular system, as well as our recent research findings in epilepsy and schizophrenia. We also discussed potential avenues for collaboration in the areas of vision restoration and brain imaging.
