Critical Contributions of the Orbitofrontal Cortex to Behavior

 
  December 21, 2010  
     
 
The New York Academy of Sciences, New York City
2011-03-30


Despite an enormous increase in knowledge of the orbitofrontal cortex over the last 10 years, we still do not have an account of the critical contribution that orbitofrontal cortex makes across different circuits to support human behavior. This conference will address the following topics; 1) presentation of the most recent advances in our understanding of the structure and function of the OFC, 2) an overview of the contribution of OFC to emotional memory and interactions between OFC and the amygdala, 3) the role of OFC in assigning value in decision making, and 4) the role of OFC in decision making under uncertainty.
