Can't Learn without You Predictive Value Coding in Orbitofrontal Cortex Requires the Basolateral Amygdala
نویسنده
چکیده
Basolateral amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex are implicated in cue-outcome learning. In this issue of Neuron, Schoenbaum et al. show that, following basolateral amygdala lesions, cue-selective neurons in orbitofrontal cortex are more sensory driven and less sensitive to the motivational value of an outcome, suggesting that predictive value coding in orbitofrontal cortex is dependent on input from basolateral amygdala.

Orbitofrontal Cortex, Associative Learning, and Expectancies
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 o...
متن کاملEncoding predictive reward value in human amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex.
Adaptive behavior is optimized in organisms that maintain flexible representations of the value of sensory-predictive cues. To identify central representations of predictive reward value in humans, we used reinforcer devaluation while measuring neural activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging. We presented two arbitrary visual stimuli, both before and after olfactory devaluation, in a...
متن کاملEncoding Predicted Outcome and Acquired Value in Orbitofrontal Cortex during Cue Sampling Depends upon Input from Basolateral Amygdala
Certain goal-directed behaviors depend critically upon interactions between orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and basolateral amygdala (ABL). Here we describe direct neurophysiological evidence of this cooperative function. We recorded from OFC in intact and ABL-lesioned rats learning odor discrimination problems. As rats learned these problems, we found that lesioned rats exhibited marked changes in ...
متن کاملTwo Wrongs Make a Right: Deficits in Reversal Learning after Orbitofrontal Damage Are Improved by Amygdala Ablation
Impaired cognitive flexibility after orbitofrontal damage has informed theories of orbitofrontal function and prefrontal cortex function generally. In this issue of Neuron, Stalnaker et al. demonstrate that reversal learning deficits after orbitofrontal damage in rats are eliminated by additional lesions of the basolateral amygdala. The involvement of orbitofrontal cortex in cognitive flexibili...
متن کاملComplementary contributions of basolateral amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex to value learning under uncertainty
We make choices based on the values of expected outcomes, informed by previous experience in similar settings. When the outcomes of our decisions consistently violate expectations, new learning is needed to maximize rewards. Yet not every surprising event indicates a meaningful change in the environment. Even when conditions are stable overall, outcomes of a single experience can still be unpre...
