The function of the OFC is not known, but its anatomical connections with the ventral striatum, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and periaqueductal grey support a role in mediating …

The human medial orbitofrontal cortex represents many different types of reward, and the lateral orbitofrontal cortex represents non-reward and punishment. Not obtaining an expected reward …

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is located directly above the eye sockets in the front part of the brain. It connects to the brain's sensory regions, memory, and emotion centers.

Oct 30, 2023 · The orbitofrontal cortex is an important region of the brain involved in the processing of rewards and punishments. It receives and integrates inputs from all the sensory …

The orbitofrontal cortex is the area of the prefrontal cortex that sits just above the orbits (also known as the eye sockets). It is thus found at the very front of the brain, and has extensive …

In complementary neuroimaging studies in humans, it is being found that areas of the orbitofrontal cortex are activated by pleasant touch, by painful touch, by taste, by smell, and by more …

Apr 7, 2025 · The OFC's unique function appears to lie in its capacity to synthesize and use information that is not directly presented, enabling subjects to make inferences about their …

The approach described here is aimed at providing a fundamental understanding of how the orbitofrontal cortex actually functions, and thus in how it is involved in motivational behavior …

In Chapter 3, evidence on the neurophysiology and functional neuroimaging of the orbitofrontal cortex is described, leading to a foundation for understand-ing the functions of the orbitofrontal …

The orbitofrontal cortex is a region in the frontal lobes of the brain located just above the orbits of the eyes. It plays a crucial role in processing emotions, decision-making, and social behaviors, …
