The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a subsection of the brain's frontal lobe, is known to play a part in value-based decision-making, the process of mentally weighing the outcome of different decisions ...

A: The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) calculates and compares the values of different choices. Researchers found that about 20% ...

New research published in JCCP Advances indicates that experiencing negative life events (NLE) during childhood is linked with a higher risk of developing symptoms of depression during young adulthood ...

A team of researchers at Boston University has found that applying low-frequency electrical stimulation to the orbitofrontal cortex of obsessive-compulsive behavior patients proved to be effective in ...

Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine have discovered that memory consolidation during sleep ...

Researchers used a behavioral task and neural recordings in mice to study information seeking. They identified orbitofrontal cortex neurons that encoded information value independently of reward size.

In a recent study published in the journal JCPP Advances, a group of researchers investigated whether early negative life events (NLEs) predict depressive symptoms in young adulthood through ...

Pela primeira vez, um estudo em humanos relaciona diretamente as interações entre o córtex orbitofrontal, o tálamo e o ...

Summary: A human intracranial recording study reveals that memory consolidation during sleep depends on precise, coordinated ...

Habit formation brain circuits work independently, Kyoto University researchers report: one determines whether a behavior ...
