Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Dr. Choi is broadly interested in mapping the brain’s connectivity and characterizing its functional dynamics using advanced neuroimaging and clinical neurophysiological methods, as well as translating this information to identify individual-specific neurosurgical targets and treatment strategies using neuromodulation (e.g., deep brain stimulation). Her prior work has mapped the functional and connectional organization of the cortex, striatum, and thalamus using neuroimaging and neuroanatomical tract-tracing. A current focus is on the use of thalamic deep brain stimulation to improve memory and attention in traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease.
