Biography

Eun Young Choi is an Instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. Her research interests broadly encompass the mapping of brain connectivity and the characterization of functional dynamics using advanced neuroimaging and clinical neurophysiological methods. She aims to translate this information to identify individual-specific neurosurgical targets for treatment strategies employing neuromodulation techniques, such as deep brain stimulation. Dr. Choi's previous work has successfully mapped the functional and connectional organization of the cortex, striatum, and thalamus by utilizing neuroimaging and non-human primate neuroanatomical tract-tracing methods. Currently, she focuses on the use of thalamic deep brain stimulation to enhance memory and attention in patients suffering from traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer's disease, along with the development of precise, individual-specific adult and pediatric brain atlases and network maps.
