L6. Thalamus (László Acsády) All cortical areas receive thalamic
... All cortical areas receive thalamic inputs and no cortical area is functional without intact thalamocortical connections. The thalamus has multiple functions. It may be thought of as a kind of hub of information. The thalamus is generally believed to act as a relay between different subcortical area ...

... The topology of the central nervous system has been, and remains today a topic of considerable study. It is known that for humans, the central nervous system starts in the embryo as a plate, eventually deforming into a tube, one end of which thickens to become the brain (the remainder being the spin ...

Orbitofrontal cortex
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a prefrontal cortex region in the frontal lobes in the brain which is involved in the cognitive processing of decision-making. In non-human primates it consists of the association cortex areas Brodmann area 11, 12 and 13; in humans it consists of Brodmann area 10, 11 and 47The OFC is considered anatomically synonymous with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Therefore the region is distinguished due to the distinct neural connections and the distinct functions it performs. It is defined as the part of the prefrontal cortex that receives projections from the magnocellular, medial nucleus of the mediodorsal thalamus, and is thought to represent emotion and reward in decision making. It gets its name from its position immediately above the orbits in which the eyes are located. Considerable individual variability has been found in the OFC of both humans and non-human primates. A related area is found in rodents.
