The orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala are involved in emotion and in motivation, but the
relationship between these functions performed by these brain structures is not clear. To …

The orbitofrontal cortex in primates including humans is the key brain area in emotion, and
in the representation of reward value and in non-reward, that is not obtaining an expected …

It is becoming clearer how neurobiological mechanisms generate 'liking'and
'wanting'components of food reward. Mesocorticolimbic mechanisms that enhance …

Central regulation of food intake is a key mechanism contributing to energy homeostasis.
Many neural circuits that are thought to orchestrate feeding behavior overlap with the brain's …

The new technological advances achieved during the last decade allowed the scientific
community to investigate and employ neurophysiological measures not only for research …

In this review, we summarize findings supporting the existence of multiple behavioral
strategies for controlling reward-related behavior, including a dichotomy between the goal …

The human orbitofrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), and anterior
cingulate cortex are involved in reward processing and thereby in emotion but are also …

The perception of flavor is perhaps the most multisensory of our everyday experiences. The
latest research by psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists increasingly reveals the …

The orbitofrontal cortex represents the reward or affective value of primary reinforcers
