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 …

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 …

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

Neural representation of behavioral outcomes in the orbitofrontal cortex

ZF Mainen, A Kepecs - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2009 - Elsevier
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is important in processing rewards and other behavioral
outcomes. Here, we review from a computational perspective recent progress in …

[HTML][HTML] Orbitofrontal neurons signal reward predictions, not reward prediction errors

TA Stalnaker, TL Liu, YK Takahashi… - Neurobiology of learning …, 2018 - Elsevier
Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) fire in anticipation of and during rewards. Such
firing has been suggested to encode reward predictions and to account in some way for the …

Orbitofrontal cortex signals expected outcomes with predictive codes when stable contingencies promote the integration of reward history

JS Riceberg, ML Shapiro - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Memory can inform goal-directed behavior by linking current opportunities to past outcomes.
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) may guide value-based responses by integrating the history …

Is the core function of orbitofrontal cortex to signal values or make predictions?

J Zhou, MPH Gardner, G Schoenbaum - Current Opinion in Behavioral …, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

Rat orbitofrontal cortex separately encodes response and outcome information during performance of goal-directed behavior

T Furuyashiki, PC Holland… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) neurons encode rewards and the cues that predict them,
providing a neural substrate for outcome expectancy, an important component of goal …
