Does the orbitofrontal cortex signal value?

G Schoenbaum, Y Takahashi, TL Liu… - Annals of the New …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has long been implicated in associative learning. Early work

adaptive decisions. However, the neural mechanisms underlying identity-specific value …

Separable learning systems in the macaque brain and the role of orbitofrontal cortex in contingent learning

ME Walton, TEJ Behrens, MJ Buckley, PH Rudebeck… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is widely held to be critical for flexibility in decision-making when
established choice values change. OFC's role in such decision making was investigated in …

Expectancy-related changes in firing of dopamine neurons depend on orbitofrontal cortex

YK Takahashi, MR Roesch, RC Wilson, K Toreson… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
The orbitofrontal cortex has been hypothesized to carry information regarding the value of
expected rewards. Such information is essential for associative learning, which relies on …

The neural code of reward anticipation in human orbitofrontal cortex

T Kahnt, J Heinzle, SQ Park… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
An optimal choice among alternative behavioral options requires precise anticipatory

The role of the orbitofrontal cortex in alcohol use, abuse, and dependence

DE Moorman - Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and …, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Adaptation of reward sensitivity in orbitofrontal neurons

S Kobayashi, OP De Carvalho… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Animals depend on a large variety of rewards but their brains have a limited dynamic coding
