In biological systems, the sensory cortex operates by distributing the incoming signals appropriately between the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex.
32.
Larger olfactory bulbs, relatively wider orbitofrontal cortex, relatively increased and forward projecting temporal lobe poles appear unique to modern humans.
33.
It has also been shown in monkeys that the responses of orbitofrontal neurons to taste decreased when the monkey eats to satiety.
34.
Furthermore neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex respond to the visual, and / or olfactory stimuli in addition to the gustatory stimulus.
35.
Imaging studies have shown that the left amygdala is more active in women who are manic and the orbitofrontal cortex is less active.
36.
Reduced activity of the prefrontal cortex, in particular its medial and orbitofrontal portions, has been associated with violent / antisocial aggression.
37.
The orbitofrontal cortex ( OFC ) is heavily correlated with the cingulate gyrus and septal area to act out positive / negative reinforcement.
38.
The temporal parietal junction, orbitofrontal cortex, and ventral striatum are also thought to play a role in the production of emotion.
39.
From the entorhinal cortex, axons extend to the medial dorsal nucleus of the thalamus, which then proceed to the orbitofrontal cortex.
40.
It is suggested that people with orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction show a tendency to make social blunders due to a deficit in self-monitoring.
