Doch weitere Forschungsergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Personen, wenn sie einmal Macht erlangt haben, ein ähnliches Verhalten an den Tag legen wie Personen, deren Orbitofrontalcortex beschädigt ist. 2/3

How does the #brain adapt when goals change? This study shows that coordinated neural rhythms between medial #OrbitofrontalCortex & #hippocampus underlie flexible #navigation, allowing animals to rapidly update internal maps & switch between target locations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4x5yN2M
Navigating the Neural Flow of Hippocampus and mOFC. This conceptual illustration adopts a traditional Chinese watercolor (Shanshui) style to depict the dynamic population activity during spatial navigation. The main brain silhouette is rendered through fluid green ink-washes, symbolizing the complex, interconnected neural circuits of the hippocampus. The traveler in the traditional canopy boat navigating the waterways represents the exploration and encoding of behavioral trajectories. At the peak, enveloped in neural mists, a prominent lighthouse symbolizes the medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC), casting its guiding light to coordinate the hippocampal ensembles and anchor the cognitive map. Image Credit: Image created Jing Bian by Haibing Xu's Lab (Southern Medical University). This artwork was originally created by the human artist using digital watercolor painting techniques and was not generated by any generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

In standard models of choice, we evaluate each option separately, then compare values. @benhayden.bsky.social explores a @plosbiology.org study showing that #OrbitofrontalCortex compares before evaluating, challenging theories about how we choose 🧪 Paper: plos.io/4mxK3i6 Primer: plos.io/45HPmpC
In evaluation-first choice, the decision-maker combines information across attributes within each option (evaluation) and then takes the results of that evaluation step (abstract values) and compares them (comparison). In comparison-first choice, the decision maker compares each attribute separately for each object and then performs an as-yet-unidentified step to determine which option to choose. Comparison-first choice may be preferred because it avoids a costly or difficult evaluation step.

When choosing between options with multiple attributes, the #OrbitofrontalCortex (OFC) is thought to integrate across attributes. @erinlrich.bsky.social &co show that OFC neurons encode comparisons between attributes of the same type, rather than integrating values @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4mxK3i6
Top, Left to right: Monkeys initiated a trial by holding a touch-sensitive bar and fixating a central point. Choice options were represented by a pair of colored bars of variable height. The left bar indicated the sweetness of an option and the right bar indicated the probability of receiving it. Monkeys freely viewed the options while holding the touch bar, and reported a choice by releasing the bar while directing gaze to one option. Bottom: Sweetness and probability attributes were represented by colored bars, whose height indicated the value of the attribute. Values varied monotonically in 5 increments. Blue and yellow bar heights directly mapped to the value of the attribute (− = low, + = high). Magenta and green bar heights indirectly mapped to the value of the attribute.
