Summary:

The orbitofronal cortex plays a critical role in emotion, learning, and behavioural flexibility. This volume provides a reference for established clinicians and researchers as well as trainees in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience.

Contents:

Contents; Contributors; Part 1 Anatomy; 1 Architectonic structure of the orbital and medial prefrontal cortex; 2 The orbitofrontal cortex: sulcal and gyral morphology and architecture; 3 Connections of orbital cortex; 4 Sequential and parallel circuits for emotional processing in primate orbitofrontal cortex; Part 2 Functions and methods; 5 The neurophysiology and functions of the orbitofrontal cortex; 6 The chemical senses; 7 Involvement of primate orbitofrontal neurons in reward, uncertainty, and learning
