About
Jee Hyun Choi is a pioneering neuroscientist whose research illuminates the neural underpinnings of social behavior and defensive responses in naturalistic settings. Her work centers on three key areas: social cognition, threat-induced behavioral switching, and collective foraging dynamics. Choi’s major contributions include the development of a groundbreaking mobile edge computing (MEC) neurotelemetry system, which wirelessly links specific brain activities to social behaviors in freely interacting mice—a methodological leap that earned 23 citations. She also uncovered how the prefrontal-amygdala circuit dynamically switches neural oscillations to orchestrate freeze-or-flight responses under naturalistic threat, a study cited 16 times. Most recently, her 2025 work on emergent social roles in group foraging revealed distinct neural signatures for “working,” “participating,” and other roles when mice forage collectively near a predator-like robot. With over 40 total citations and a trajectory of high-impact, methodologically innovative studies, Choi is shaping our understanding of how brains coordinate complex social and survival behaviors in real-world contexts.
