- part of the [[orbitofrontal cortex]]
- [[ventromedial prefrontal cortex]]
# Idea
Implicated in cue-outcome association paradigms involving reward and punishment.
Value signals for food rewards are often observed in the [[ventromedial prefrontal cortex]] surface. However, sensory inputs from the visual, auditory, gustatory, and somatosensory systems arrive into the [[orbitofrontal cortex]] primarily via the [[lateral orbitofronal cortex]] (see [[Ongur 2000 organization of networks within the orbital and medial PFC of rats]]).
