Ventromedial frontal cortex mediates affective shifting in humans: evidence from a reversal learning paradigm

How do the frontal lobes support behavioural flexibility? One key element is the ability to adjust responses when the reinforcement value of stimuli change. In monkeys, this ability—a form of affective shifting known as reversal learning—depends on orbitofrontal cortex. The present study examines th...
