This study investigates the role of the ventral hippocampal-nucleus accumbens shell circuit in approach-avoidance conflict decisions, finding it biases approach behavior in social novelty and conflict scenarios.

This study shows that perirhinal cortex, not ventral hippocampus, mediates object-based approach-avoidance conflict in rats, challenging the traditional focus on hippocampus in AA conflict behavior.

This study investigates the role of ventral hippocampal sub-regions in approach-avoidance conflict processing using pharmacological inactivation in rats.
