Choi Sukwoo

Choi Sukwoo is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University. His research focuses on neurobiology, particularly the neurophysiological mechanisms of predictive behavior. His lab employs neurophysiological methodologies to study reasoning and prediction in problem-solving, utilizing a rat animal model and large-scale neural activity measurements. He is also involved in decoding neural ensembles to predict future behavior based on neural activity. Choi has held various academic positions at Seoul National University since 2013, including Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor. His work has been published in several prestigious journals, including Cell Reports, eLife, and Nature Neuroscience.

Sukwoo Choi, a neuroscience researcher at Seoul National University, focuses on synaptic plasticity and its role in learning and memory. Their work explores mechanisms such as long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), and synaptic transmission dynamics. Choi's research investigates the molecular and cellular processes underlying synaptic plasticity, including the role of neurotransmitters, ion channels, and receptor interactions. Key areas of interest include the function of AMPA and NMDA receptors, the impact of maternal stress on synaptic plasticity, and the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in fear extinction. Their studies also examine the effects of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease on synaptic function.
