Figure 1

The (lateral) OFC across species. The figure illustrates the OFC in humans and monkeys and the approximate analogous area in rats. The OFC in humans and monkeys is defined as the lateral orbital network (dark blue) and related intermediate areas (light blue) proposed by Price and colleagues149. Note that this region is distinct from the medial network, ventromedial prefrontal cortex or what has more recently been called medial OFC. An analogous area has been identified in rats based on connectivity with mediodorsal thalamus, striatum and amygdala, as well as functional criteria150.
