Abstract
In 1998, Korea implemented the Brain Research Promotion Act (BRPA), a law to revamp the field of neuroscience at the national level. However, despite numerous revisions including the definition and classification of neuroscience and the national plans for the training and education systems, the governance for neuroethics has not been integrated into the Act. The ethical issues raised by neuroscience and neurotechnology remain unchallenged, especially given the focus on the industrial purpose of the technology. In the current study, we analyzed the BRPA revision process by using Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework to determine the problems faced by the process. We propose a new strategy, including neuroethics governance and a national committee, to promote interdisciplinary neuroscience research and strengthen neuroethics in Korea.
期刊介绍：
Experimental Neurobiology is an international forum for interdisciplinary investigations of the nervous system. The journal aims to publish papers that present novel observations in all fields of neuroscience, encompassing cellular & molecular neuroscience, development/differentiation/plasticity, neurobiology of disease, systems/cognitive/behavioral neuroscience, drug development & industrial application, brain-machine interface, methodologies/tools, and clinical neuroscience. It should be of interest to a broad scientific audience working on the biochemical, molecular biological, cell biological, pharmacological, physiological, psychophysical, clinical, anatomical, cognitive, and biotechnological aspects of neuroscience. The journal publishes both original research articles and review articles. Experimental Neurobiology is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal. The journal is published jointly by The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Sciences & The Korean Society for Neurodegenerative Disease.
