Project: <\/strong>(1) Sex differences in reward approach\/punishment avoidance conflict in mice.
(2) Lateral habenula circuits in approach\/avoidance conflict<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Description<\/strong>:<\/strong> 
(1)Some individuals exhibit poor choices during risk-reward opportunities and thus exhibit extreme avoidance or risky behaviors that can impair quality of life or endanger people. It is, therefore, necessary to characterize how neurons mediate reward approach and threat avoidance conflict. Here, we used a novel approach-avoidance conflict task to characterize differences in behavior and neuronal activity in mice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) \u2022 Study the necessity and sufficiency of the lateral habenula during conflict conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Study the connectivity of the lateral habenula-ventral pallidum-nucleus accumbens circuit under conflict conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Study sex differences in mice under conflict conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
