Research Focus
The research lab led by Dr. Ki Sueng Choi focuses on improving the treatment of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) through advanced techniques like deep brain stimulation (DBS). By utilizing a detailed mapping of brain pathways, the lab aims to enhance the precision of this treatment, making it more effective for individuals. They are working to develop tools that can help clinicians better target the specific brain areas involved in OCD, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
