orbitofrontal

Examples of orbitofrontal in the following topics:

• Limbic System

• Executive Function and Control

  • Orbitofrontal cortex: impulse control, maintenance of set, monitoring ongoing behavior, socially appropriate behavior, representing the value of rewards of sensory stimuli.

• Psychosurgery

  • Subcaudate tractotomy is a surgery to sever the fibers connecting the orbitofrontal cortex to the hypothalamus.

• Psychological Theories of Deviance

  • In addition, youth with conduct disorder demonstrated less responsiveness in the orbitofrontal regions of the brain during a stimulus-reinforcement and reward task.

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

  • Additionally, a brain region that is believed to play a critical role in OCD is the orbitofrontal cortex (Kopell & Greenberg, 2008), an area of the frontal lobe involved in learning and decision-making.

• Other Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders

  • Neuroimaging also suggest weaker connection between the amygdala (the part of the brain involved in basic emotions) and the orbitofrontal cortex (the part of the brain involved in regulation of emotional arousal) in people with body dysmorphic disorder.
