• Naturalizing aesthetics: Brain areas for aesthetic appraisal across sensory modalities (2011, positive): “But in addition, the OFC plays an important role in monitoring and learning about the reward value of stimuli (Kringelbach, 2005; Wallis, 2007), as reflected in subjective assessments of pleasantness, and as shown in these meta-analyses.”
• Dissecting components of reward: ‘liking’, ‘wanting’, and learning (2009, background): “To study neural systems responsible for the hedonic impact of rewards, we and others have exploited objective ‘liking’ reactions to sweet taste rewards, such as affective facial expressions of newborn human infants and the homologous facial reactions of orangutans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and even rat”
• Short frontal lobe connections of the human brain. (2012, background): “…association and limbic integration could guide more complex cognitive and behavioural functions, such as reward behaviour associated with sensory and abstract reinforcers (e.g., monetary gain and loss) (Kringelbach, 2005) or response inhibition (e.g., go-no-go tasks) (Iversen and Mishkin, 1970).”
• The Neurobiology of Human Attachments. (2017, positive): “The OFC, the latest evolving structure of the human brain and the end point of the reward pathway [152], implicates in the representation of ‘pleasantness’ and in effortful, goal-directed actions to tend long-term relationships [153].”
• Social and monetary reward learning engage overlapping neural substrates. (2012, background): “Several human fMRI studies have found that activity in medial regions of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) correlates with behavioral measures of experienced utility for a wide variety of social and non-social reward modalities (Blood and Zatorre, 2001; Small et al., 2001, 2003; de Araujo et al., 2003; McC”
• The tempted brain eats: pleasure and desire circuits in obesity and eating disorders. (2010, neutral): “…neocortex such as the orbitofrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex and the anterior insula cortex (de Araujo et al., 2003; Kringelbach, 2004; Kringelbach, 2005; Kringelbach, 2010; O'Doherty et al., 2001; Petrovich and Gallagher, 2007; Rolls, 2006; Rolls et al., 2003; Small and Veldhuizen,…”
• Celebrities and Shoes on the Female Brain: The Neural Correlates of Product Evaluation in the Context of Fame (2009, background): “, 2009), whereas the lateral part has been more often linked to the evaluation of negative reinforcers (Kringelbach, 2005; Kringelbach and Rolls, 2004; Rolls and Grabenhorst, 2008).”
• The neurobiology of itch (2006, background): “Rather than just indicating the motivational aspects of the itch sensation, including reward systems and decision making, these frontal brain areas are also involved in the hedonic experienc”
• Gratitude and Subjective Wellbeing: A Proposal of Two Causal Frameworks (2017, background): “…that have been broadly implicated in a wide range of cognitive and emotional processes, including subjective value judgments and reward processing (Kringelbach 2005), self-referential processes 1530 A. Alkozei et al. (Denny et al. 2012), and body perception/regulation (Barrett and Simmons 2015).”
• Interoception in anxiety and depression (2010, background): “which processes the incentive motivational aspects of rewarding stimuli (Robinson and Berridge 2008), and (d) orbitofrontal cortex (Ongur and Price 2000b), which has been implicated in context-dependent evaluation of environmental stimuli (O’Doherty et al. 2001; Rolls 2004a, b; Bechara et al. 2000; ”
