Medial orbitofrontal neurons preferentially signal cues predicting changes in reward during unblocking

N Lopatina, MA McDannald, CV Styer… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been broadly implicated in the ability to use the current
value of expected outcomes to guide behavior. Although value correlates have been …

Orbitofrontal neurons acquire responses to 'valueless' Pavlovian cues during unblocking

MA McDannald, GR Esber, MA Wegener, HM Wied… - Elife, 2014 - elifesciences.org
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been described as signaling outcome expectancies or
value. Evidence for the latter comes from the studies showing that neural signals in the OFC …

To be specific: The role of orbitofrontal cortex in signaling reward identity.

JD Howard, T Kahnt - Behavioral neuroscience, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) plays a prominent role in signaling reward expectations. Two
important features of rewards are their value (how good they are) and their specific identity …

Increased firing to cues that predict low-value reward in the medial orbitofrontal cortex

AC Burton, V Kashtelyan, DW Bryden… - Cerebral …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Anatomical, imaging, and lesion work have suggested that medial and lateral aspects of
orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) play different roles in reward-guided decision-making, yet few …

Medial-lateral organization of the orbitofrontal cortex

EL Rich, JD Wallis - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2014 - direct.mit.edu
Emerging evidence suggests that specific cognitive functions localize to different subregions
of OFC, but the nature of these functional distinctions remains unclear. One prominent …

Lateral orbitofrontal neurons acquire responses to upshifted, downshifted, or blocked cues during unblocking

N Lopatina, MA McDannald, CV Styer, BF Sadacca… - Elife, 2015 - elifesciences.org
The lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) has been described as signaling either outcome
expectancies or value. Previously, we used unblocking to show that lOFC neurons respond …

Cracking and packing information about the features of expected rewards in the orbitofrontal cortex

A Shimbo, YK Takahashi, AJ Langdon… - Journal of …, 2024 - jneurosci.org
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is crucial for tracking various aspects of expected outcomes,
thereby helping to guide choices and support learning. Our previous study showed that the …

The orbitofrontal cortex and response selection

JJ Young, ML Shapiro - Annals of the New York Academy of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) function is often characterized in terms of stimulus–reward
mapping; however, more recent evidence suggests that the OFC may play a role in selecting …

Functional heterogeneity within rat orbitofrontal cortex in reward learning and decision making

A Izquierdo - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Rat orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is located in the dorsal bank of the rhinal sulcus, and is
divided into the medial orbital area, ventral orbital area, ventrolateral orbital area, lateral …

Neural encoding in the orbitofrontal cortex related to goal‐directed behavior

T Furuyashiki, M Gallagher - Annals of the New York Academy …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Research using laboratory animals, alongside clinical studies of human patients, support a
role for the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in adaptive decision‐making and goal‐directed …
