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 …

Evidence is provided for a new conceptualization of the connectivity and functions of the
cingulate cortex in emotion, action, and memory. The anterior cingulate cortex receives …

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 …

The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex is implicated in
reward and emotion, but also in memory. It is shown how the human orbitofrontal cortex …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a critical role in the generation and regulation of emotion.
However, we lack an integrative framework for understanding how different emotion-related …

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 multimodal properties of the human somatosensory system continue to be unravelled.
There is mounting evidence that one of these submodalities—touch—has another …

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 …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

Although cells in many brain regions respond to reward, the cortical-basal ganglia circuit is
at the heart of the reward system. The key structures in this network are the anterior …
