The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a prefrontal cortex region in the frontal lobes of the brain which is involved in the cognitive process of decision-making. In non-human primates it consists of the association cortex areas Brodmann area 11, 12 and 13; in humans it …

2023年10月30日 · The orbitofrontal cortex is an important region of the brain involved in the processing of rewards and punishments. It receives and integrates inputs from all the sensory modalities: taste, smell, somatosensory, auditory and visual, as well as visceral sensory and visceral motor information.

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is located directly above the eye sockets in the front part of the brain. It connects to the brain's sensory regions, memory, and emotion centers.

The approach described here is aimed at providing a fundamental understanding of how the orbitofrontal cortex actually functions, and thus in how it is involved in motivational behavior such as feeding and drinking, in emotional behavior, and in social behavior.

The orbitofrontal cortex is the area of the prefrontal cortex that sits just above the orbits (also known as the eye sockets). It is thus found at the very front of the brain, and has extensive connections with sensory areas as well as limbic system structures involved in …

2018年9月24日 · In this Primer, we provide an overview of our understanding of OFC function as it has evolved from basic and clinical research, as well as the theories that have guided it. To begin, we will review important features of anatomy and connectivity that define OFC. What constitutes OFC?

What do we know about orbitofrontal cortex from studies of reinforcer devaluation? Reinforcer devaluation refers to a procedure in which changes in a learned response are assessed after devaluation of the expected outcome.

The Orbitofrontal Cortex explores a part of the brain that is important in human emotion, pleasure, decision-making, valuation, and personality. In ten chapters the book describes: The OFC’s connections. Its neuron level neurophysiology, which is essential for understanding what information is represented in the orbitofrontal cortex.

Subregions of the prefrontal cortex, including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), have been deemed essential for this process. Value computations require a complex integration across numerous dimensions, including, reward magnitude, effort, internal state, and time.

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is regarded as one of the core brain areas in a variety of value-based behaviors. Over the past two decades, tremendous knowledge about the OFC function was gained from studying the behaviors of single subjects.
