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 …

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has long been implicated in associative learning. Early work
by Mishkin and Rolls showed that the OFC was critical for rapid changes in learned …

People with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have specific problems making
decisions, whereas their other cognitive functions are spared. Neurophysiological studies …

Despite decades of research, the exact ways in which the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)
influences cognitive function have remained mysterious. Anatomically, the OFC is …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Clinical accounts of the effects of damage to orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have provided
important clues about the functions of this region in humans. Patients with OFC injury can …

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 …
