Once the appropriate behavioral model was developed, I focused on involvement of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in encoding key events in behaving male and female rats in part because: 1) con?ict is believed to engage higher level control processes which are a key function of the PFC, and 2) PFC dysfunction is a common observation across psychopathologies mentioned above (Balderston, Vytal, et al., 2017; Goldstein & Volkow, 2011; Han et al., 2016; Milad & Rauch, 2007). 000009443 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009443 650__ $$aAnxiety$$014946 000009443 650__ $$aPrefrontal Cortex$$029938 000009443 650__ $$aNeuroimaging$$039660 000009443 650__ $$aReward$$025422 000009443 650__ $$aMotivation$$022450 000009443 6531_ $$aconflict 000009443 6531_ $$aapproach-avoidance conflict 000009443 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009443 692__ $$aDepartment of Behavioral Neuroscience$$041394 000009443 7001_ $$aJacobs, David S. 000009443 8564_ $$9b2e27971-a3ee-42e5-945e-1a3147273343$$s35368787$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9443/files/Jacobs.David.2021.pdf 000009443 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0r/96/74/56/0r9674565 000009443 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9443$$pstudent-work 000009443 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
