decision-making, where individuals must manage situations involving rewards and punishments. This project focuses on studying the neural circuits in the ventral pallidum (VP), a brain region involved in regulating these behaviors. By manipulating GABAergic neurons in the VP of transgenic mice using optogenetics, we aim to understand how changes in neuronal activity affect behavior related to avoiding negative stimuli and seeking rewards. To measure these effects, behavioral paradigms such as Platform-Mediated Avoidance (PMA) are used to assess how mice react to situations of conflict between approaching a reward or avoiding a punishment. Additionally, neuronal activity is analyzed using fiber photometry to correlate behavior with patterns of activity in the ventral pallidum. This work aims to <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW38193490 BCX0\">provide<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW38193490 BCX0\"> new insights into how brain circuits that regulate these
