The past ten years have witnessed intense research on the function
of orbitofrontal cortex. As a result, the orbitofrontal cortex has
been assigned roles in a number of human behaviors and emotions,
from tasks such as assessing economic value and making decisions to
the emotional states of regret and uncertainty. Orbitofrontal
dysfunction has also been implicated in a variety of human disease
states, including addiction, depression and bipolar,
obsessive-compulsive, and attention deficit disorders.
Despite an enormous increase in our knowledge about this region,
we still do not have an account of the contributions that the
orbitofrontal cortex makes across different circuits to support
human behavior, nor do we understand how changes in this structure
or its connectivity may contribute to disease states. This volume
explores areas of research are critical to move the field beyond a
circuit-centric view of the orbitofrontal cortex to define the
roles this area plays in human behavior and mental health. NOTE:
