Funded Activity Summary

Neural substrates underlying appetitive-aversive interactions. Theorists have argued that learning is driven by two opposite motivational systems: an appetitive system that deals with positive events and an aversive system that processes negative events. Interactions between the two systems are implied by most theories, but their study has received little attention. This project will investigate these interactions by combining knowledge in behavioural and cellular neuroscience. The aim is to describe the psychological and neural processes underlying appetitive-aversive interactions and their influence on learning and decision-making. Understanding these processes is critical as we live in a complex world in which positive and negative events co-exist and interact to influence our behaviour.
