Kep Kee Loh is a Senior Tutor in the Department of Psychology at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Currently, he also holds an NUS Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship position at both the Montreal Neurological Institute (McGill University) and the University of Oxford. His research focuses on comparative primate neuroanatomy, examining what makes the human brain special compared to other primates through multimodal MRI techniques. Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Université Claude Bernard Lyon I (2014-2018) M.Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience from University College London (2011-2012) B.Soc.Sci. (Hons.) in Psychology from National University of Singapore (2007-2011) Dr. Loh's research primarily investigates the anatomical organization of brains across humans and various primate species including chimpanzees, baboons, and macaques. He employs different magnetic resonance imaging techniques (anatomical, resting-state, diffusion-weighted MRI) to compare brain organization across species, with particular focus on the medial frontal cortex, sulcal anatomy, and the evolution of speech and language in the human brain. His work adopts a multimodal approach to provide an integrative view of what sets human brains apart from other primates. His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on comparative neuroanatomy across species, with particular emphasis on primate brain evolution, frontal cortex organization, and language-related neural pathways. The research spans multiple disciplines including neuroscience, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology, with increasing attention to methodological advancements in neuroimaging techniques for cross-species comparisons. NUS Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship (2021) Institute of Language, Communications and the Brain (ILCB) Postdoctoral Fellowship (2019) Fondation Recherche Médicale (FRM) Fin de Thèse (PhD funding) (2017) BRAIN Student Travel Award, 6th Motivation and Cognitive Control Symposium (2016) Dr. Loh has been involved in numerous collaborative research projects across international institutions, including the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (Stem Cell and Brain Research Institute), Aix-Marseille Université, and currently McGill University and the University of Oxford. His work has received significant recognition with over 1,000 citations for his 33 publications. While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided text, his postdoctoral fellowships indicate successful competitive funding. Dr. Loh collaborates with several research groups including the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University and research teams at the University of Oxford. His work connects with broader initiatives like the collaborative resource platform for non-human primate neuroimaging, indicating participation in larger research networks focused on advancing primate neuroscience through shared resources and methodologies.

Tsukasa Kamigaki is an Assistant Professor at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He leads a research laboratory focused on systems neuroscience, particularly the neural circuit mechanisms underlying executive function, working memory, and cognitive aging. His work integrates advanced techniques such as calcium imaging, optogenetics, and electrophysiology in mouse models. Ph.D. in Medicine, University of Tokyo School of Medicine (2010) B.S. in Neuroscience, University of Tokyo Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (2004) Dr. Kamigaki’s research centers on the prefrontal cortex and its role in executive control. He investigates how specific interneuron subtypes contribute to memory-guided behavior, how neural circuits reorganize during learning, and how aging and psychiatric disorders disrupt these circuits. His work bridges molecular, cellular, and systems-level neuroscience to understand cognitive function and dysfunction. His recent publications span high-impact journals including Nature Communications , Neuron , Nature Neuroscience , and Science . The articles reflect a strong trend in dissecting neuron-type-specific circuit functions, top-down modulation, and the neural basis of cognitive aging. His research increasingly focuses on translational models of cognitive decline. Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Long-Term Fellowship Uehara Memorial Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Japan Neuroscience Society Young Investigator Award MCB Outstanding Postdoc Award in Neurobiology at UC Berkeley Research Fellowships for Young Scientists (DC1), JSPS Dr. Kamigaki has mentored students and postdocs, and his lab actively pursues grants and collaborative research. He has delivered numerous invited talks at institutions such as RIKEN, UC Berkeley, and the University of Tsukuba. His lab, launched in 2019 at NTU, is equipped to study multiscale brain circuits and is contributing significantly to Singapore’s neuroscience research landscape. His research team, the Kamigaki Lab, investigates brain-wide and local circuit mechanisms for executive function. They utilize transgenic mouse models, in vivo imaging, and behavioral paradigms to explore how neural networks support cognition and how they deteriorate in aging and disease.
