Orbitofrontal Cortex, Associative Learning, and Expectancies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Orbitofrontal cortex is characterized by its unique pattern of connections with subcortical areas, such as basolateral amygdala. Here we distinguish between the critical role of these areas in associative learning and the pivotal contribution of OFC to the manipulation of this information to control behavior. This contribution reflects the ability of OFC to signal the desirability of expected outcomes, which requires the integration of associative information with information concerning internal states and goals in representational memory.

What is the role of orbitofrontal cortex in dopamine dependent reinforcement learning ? !
Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been implicated in signalling reward expectancies, but its exact role , and how this differs from that the role of ventral striatum (VS), is an open question. One idea is that VS is the seat of value learning in model-free, dopamine-dependent reinforcement learning, while OFC represents values in dopamine-independent model-based learning. However, recent results [...
متن کاملAssociative encoding in anterior piriform cortex versus orbitofrontal cortex during odor discrimination and reversal learning.
Recent proposals have conceptualized piriform cortex as an association cortex, capable of integrating incoming olfactory information with descending input from higher order associative regions such as orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). If true, encoding in piriform cortex should reflect associative features prominent in these areas during associative learning involving olfactory cues. To test this hyp...
متن کاملChemosensory Learning in the Cortex
Taste is a primary reinforcer. Olfactory-taste and visual-taste association learning takes place in the primate including human orbitofrontal cortex to build representations of flavor. Rapid reversal of this learning can occur using a rule-based learning system that can be reset when an expected taste or flavor reward is not obtained, that is by negative reward prediction error, to which a popu...
متن کاملOrbitofrontal cortex, decision-making and drug addiction.
The orbitofrontal cortex, as a part of prefrontal cortex, is implicated in executive function. However, within this broad region, the orbitofrontal cortex is distinguished by its unique pattern of connections with crucial subcortical associative learning nodes, such as basolateral amygdala and nucleus accumbens. By virtue of these connections, the orbitofrontal cortex is uniquely positioned to ...
متن کاملLesions of orbitofrontal cortex impair rats' differential outcome expectancy learning but not conditioned stimulus-potentiated feeding.
Patients with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) display various impairments in cognitive and affective function, including a reduced ability to use information about the consequences of their actions to guide their behavior. In this study, rats with neurotoxic lesions of the OFC failed to use specific expectancies about outcomes to guide their learning of an instrumental discrimination t...
