Of Pathways, Processes, and Orbitofrontal Cortex

Abstract

Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) predicts the consequences of our actions and updates our expectations based on experienced outcomes. In this issue of Neuron, Groman et\xa0al. (2019) precisely ablate pathways between the OFC, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens to reveal their separable contributions to reinforcement learning.
