Remarkable progress has been made in recent years toward understanding the functions of
the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). The finding that neurons in this area encode the subjective …

Economic choice is the behavior observed when individuals select one of many available
options solely based on subjective preferences. Behavioral evidence suggests that …

One dominant hypothesis about the function of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is that the OFC
signals the subjective values of possible outcomes to other brain areas for learning and …

Recent work has emphasized the role that orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has in value-based
decision-making. However, it is also clear that a number of discrepancies have arisen when …

The primate orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is often treated as a single entity, but architectonic
and connectional neuroanatomy indicate that it has distinguishable parts. Nevertheless, few …

While making economic choices, individuals assign subjective values to the available
options. Values computed in different behavioral conditions, however, can vary substantially …

A previous study revealed that, although monkeys with bilateral lesions of either the
orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) or the amygdala could learn an action–outcome task, they could …

Economic choice behavior entails the computation and comparison of subjective values. A
central contribution of neuroeconomics has been to show that subjective values are …

Decision makers are curious and consequently value advance information about future
events. We made use of this fact to test competing theories of value representation in area …

Considerable evidence suggests that choice between goal‐directed actions depends on two
incentive processes encoding the reward value of the goal or outcome and the predicted …
