lüll Interactions between orbital prefrontal cortex and amygdala: advanced cognition, learned responses and instinctive behaviors Murray EA; Wise SPCurr Opin Neurobiol 2010[Apr]; 20 (2): 212-20Recent research indicates that the orbital prefrontal cortex (PFo) represents stimulus valuations and that the amygdala updates these valuations. An exploration of how PFo and the amygdala interact could improve the understanding of both. PFo and the amygdala function cooperatively when monkeys choose objects associated with recently revalued foods. In other tasks, they function in opposition. PFo uses positive feedback to promote learning in object-reward reversal tasks, and PFo also promotes extinction learning. Amygdala function interferes with both kinds of learning. The amygdala underlies fearful responses to a rubber snake from the first exposure on, but PFo is necessary only after the initial exposure. The amygdala mediates an arousal response in anticipation of rewards, whereas PFo sometimes suppresses such arousal. A role for PFo in advanced cognition, for the amygdala in instinctive behavior, and for cortex-subcortex interactions in prioritizing behaviors provides one account for these findings.|*Instinct[MESH]|Amygdala/anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Behavior, Animal/physiology[MESH]|Cognition/*physiology[MESH]|Emotions/physiology[MESH]|Judgment/physiology[MESH]|Learning/*physiology[MESH]|Neural Pathways/anatomy & histology/*physiology[MESH]|Prefrontal Cortex/anatomy & histology/*physiology[MESH]|Psychomotor Performance/physiology[MESH] |
