The medial frontal cortex and adjacent orbitofrontal cortex have been the focus of
investigations of decision-making, behavioral flexibility, and social behavior. We review …

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 …

Many accounts of reward-based choice argue for distinct component processes that are
serial and functionally localized. In this Opinion article, we argue for an alternative viewpoint …

Adaptive reward-related decision making requires accurate prospective consideration of the
specific outcome of each option and its current desirability. These mental simulations are …

To make an appropriate decision, one must anticipate potential future rewarding events,
even when they are not readily observable. These expectations are generated by using …

One of the major functions of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is to promote flexible motivated
behavior. It is no surprise, therefore, that recent work has demonstrated a prominent impact …

Correlates of value are routinely observed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during reward-
guided decision making. In previous work (Hunt et al., 2015), we argued that PFC correlates …

Adaptive reward-related decision making often requires accurate and detailed
representation of potential available rewards. Environmental reward-predictive stimuli can …

Age is one of the best predictors of antisocial behavior. Risk models of recidivism often
combine chronological age with demographic, social and psychological features to aid in …

Underlying many complex behaviors are simple learned associations that allow humans
and animals to anticipate the consequences of their actions. The orbitofrontal cortex and …
