The orbitofrontal cortex is a region of the frontal lobe that is primarily involved in reward value representations. It receives information from the taste, smell and object recognition pathways[1].
Damage to the orbitofrontal cortex often results in socially inappropriate or even aggressive behavior. This resulting behavior has led some researchers to refer to a condition of "acquired sociopathy."[2]
