The hippocampus (HPC) has been traditionally considered to subserve mnemonic
processing and spatial cognition. Over the past decade, however, there has been increasing …

The resolution of an approach‐avoidance conflict induced by ambivalent information
involves the appraisal of the incentive value of the outcomes and associated stimuli to …

Rodent models of anxiety have implicated the ventral hippocampus in approach–avoidance
conflict processing. Few studies have, however, examined whether the human hippocampus …

Approach-avoidance conflict arises when an animal encounters a stimulus that is associated
simultaneously with positive and negative valences [1]. The effective resolution of approach …

When environmental cues or stimuli that represent both rewarding and aversive outcomes
are presented, complex computations must be made in order to determine whether …

Anxiety comprises a suite of behaviors to deal with potential threat and is often modeled in
approach–avoidance conflict tasks. Collectively, these tests constitute a predominant …

Animal models of human anxiety often invoke a conflict between approach and avoidance
[1, 2]. In these, a key behavioral assay comprises passive avoidance of potential threat and …

Previous studies suggest a preferential role for dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) in spatial
memory tasks, whereas ventral hippocampus (vHPC) has been implicated in aspects of fear …

Animal approach‐avoidance conflict paradigms have been used extensively to
operationalize anxiety, quantify the effects of anxiolytic agents, and probe the neural basis of …

Abstract Approach-avoidance conflict arises when the drives to pursue reward and avoid
harm are incompatible. Previous neuroimaging studies of approach-avoidance conflict have …
