MRI scans of self-described extroverts revealed a significantly larger medial orbitofrontal cortex, the area just above and behind the eye socket. This area is involved with keeping track of ...

The model also assumes that the orbitofrontal cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex use different internal models of reward timing, with the latter being more sensitive to variations in timing ...

Importantly, the model assumed that stimulation of the orbital frontal cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex separately increased the initial reward probability from 75% to 94% only in that ...
