The use of the orbitofrontal H-sulcus as a reference frame for value signals.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the factors that drive organization and function of the brain is an enduring question in neuroscience. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), structure and function have been mapped in primary sensory cortices based on knowledge of the organizational principles that likely drive a given region (e.g., aspects of visual form in primary visual cortex and sound frequency in primary auditory cortex) and knowledge of underlying cytoarchitecture. The organizing principles of higher-order brain areas that encode more complex signals, such as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), are less well understood. One fundamental component that underlies the many functions of the OFC is the ability to compute the reward or value of a given object. There is evidence of variability in the
