  • When the inferior prefrontal convexity and parts of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (which is the ventral part of the prefrontal cortex over the orbits) (see Figure 1) were lesioned, the monkeys became significantly impaired with respect to object reversal learning.

  • These results strongly suggested a differential role for the lateral and medial parts of the orbitofrontal cortex.

  • We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to show that the ability to change behaviour based on facial expression is not reflected in the activity of the fusiform face area (which invariably appears to reflect only identity and not valence), but that general reversal learning is specifically correlated with activity in the lateral orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate/paracingulate cortices (as well as other brain areas, including the ventral striatum and the inferior precentral sulcus) (Kringelbach and Rolls 2003).

  • In addition, it had also become clear that lesions to the orbitofrontal cortex were associated with impairments in emotional and social behaviour, characterised by disinhibition, social inappropriateness, and irresponsibility (Anderson et al.
