The primate orbitofrontal cortex contains the secondary taste cortex, in which the reward
value of taste is represented. It also contains the secondary and tertiary olfactory cortical …

The orbitofrontal cortex contains the secondary taste cortex, in which the reward value of
taste is represented. It also contains the secondary and tertiary olfactory cortical areas, in …

There are many advantages to defining emotions as states elicited by reinforcers, with the
states having a set of different functions. This approach leads towards an understanding of …

Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has long been known to play an important role in decision
making. However, the exact nature of that role has remained elusive. Here, we propose a …

The amygdaloid nuclear complex is critical for producing appropriate emotional and
behavioral responses to biologically relevant sensory stimuli. It constitutes an essential link …

The orbital part of prefrontal cortex appears to be crucially involved in the motivational
control of goal-directed behaviour,. Patients with lesions of orbitofrontal cortex show …

Adaptive behavior is optimized in organisms that maintain flexible representations of the
value of sensory-predictive cues. To identify central representations of predictive reward …

The number of papers about the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has grown from 1 per month in
1987 to a current rate of over 50 per month. This publication stream has implicated the OFC …

The orbitofrontal cortex represents the reward or affective value of primary reinforcers
including taste, touch, texture, and face expression. It learns to associate other stimuli with …

Reciprocal connections between the orbitofrontal cortex and the basolateral nucleus of the
amygdala may provide a critical circuit for the learning that underlies goal-directed behavior …
