Ventral hippocampus to nucleus accumbens shell circuit regulates approach decisions during motivational conflict. by Dylan Patterson, Nisma Khan, Emily A Collins, Norman R Stewart, Kian Sassaninejad, Dylan Yeates, Andy C H Lee, Rutsuko Ito

“…Converging human and animal research has implicated the anterior/ventral hippocampus (vHPC) as a key node in arbitrating AAC in a region-specific manner. In this study, we sought to target the vHPC CA1 projection pathway to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) to delineate its contribution to AAC decision-making, particularly in the arbitration of learned reward and punishment signals, as well as innate signals. …”

A Computationally-Efficient Data-Driven Safe Optimal Algorithm Through Control Merging by Marjan Khaledi, Bahare Kiumarsi

“…The share of optimal and safe controllers in the overall control policy is obtained by solving a computationally efficient optimization problem involving a scalar variable in a data-driven manner. It is shown that the contribution of the safe controller dominates that of the optimal controller when the system&#x0027;s state is close to the safety boundaries, and this domination drops as the system trajectories move away from the safety boundaries. …”
