First, we identified sex-specific behavioral strategies, showing that females prioritize avoidance of negative outcomes over seeking positive, while males have the opposite strategy. Next, we show that chemogenetically inhibiting D1 medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens-a population that has been linked to reward-driven behavior-reduces positive and increases negative reinforcement learning rates. Thus, D1 MSNs modulate stimulus processing, rather than motivated responses or the reinforcement process itself. Tog
