Non-reward neural mechanisms in the orbitofrontal cortex
The orbitofrontal cortex: reward, emotion and depression
TLDR
The hypothesis is developed that the orbitofrontal cortex has a special role in emotion and decision-making in part because as a cortical area it can implement attractor networks useful in maintaining reward and emotional states online, and in decision- making.
Rapid Rule-Based Reward Reversal and the Lateral Orbitofrontal Cortex
TLDR
It is shown in a one-trial rule-based Go-NoGo deterministic visual discrimination reversal task to obtain points, that the human right lateral orbitofrontal cortex and adjoining inferior frontal gyrus is activated on reversal trials, when an expected reward is not obtained, and the non-reward allows the human to switch choices based on a rule.

TLDR
In depression, the lateral orbitofrontal cortex non-reward attractor network system is over-connected and has increased sensitivity to non- reward, providing a new approach to understanding depression.
Medial reward and lateral non-reward orbitofrontal cortex circuits change in opposite directions in depression.
TLDR
The first brain-wide voxel-level resting state functional connectivity neuroimaging analysis of depression is reported, and it is shown that the functional connectivity of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex Brodmann area 47/12 with these three brain areas was lower in the medicated than the unmedicated patients, consistent with the hypothesis that the increased functional connectivity is related to depression.

Non-reward neural mechanisms in the orbitofrontal cortex
Synaptic and spiking dynamics underlying reward reversal in the orbitofrontal cortex.
TLDR
A model at the integrate-and-fire neuronal level of the synaptic and spiking mechanisms which can hold an expectation of a reward rule in working memory, and can reverse the reward rule if expected rewards are not obtained is described.

TLDR
The stochastic, noisy, dynamics of decision-making systems in the brain may influence whether decisions are made by the selfish-gene-specified reward emotion system, or by the cognitive reasoning system that explicitly calculates reward values that are in the interests of the individual, the phenotype.
Abstract reward and punishment representations in the human orbitofrontal cortex
TLDR
Findings indicate that one emotional involvement of the human orbitofrontal cortex is its representation of the magnitudes of abstract rewards and punishments, such as receiving or losing money.
The orbitofrontal cortex and beyond: From affect to decision-making
Medial reward and lateral non-reward orbitofrontal cortex circuits change in opposite directions in depression.
TLDR
The first brain-wide voxel-level resting state functional connectivity neuroimaging analysis of depression is reported, and it is shown that the functional connectivity of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex Brodmann area 47/12 with these three brain areas was lower in the medicated than the unmedicated patients, consistent with the hypothesis that the increased functional connectivity is related to depression.
