Orbitofrontal cortex contributes to the comparison of values underlying economic choices
Economic choices entail the comparison of offer values, but the neural underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Here the authors show that weak electrical stimulation of the orbitofrontal cortex selectively disrupts value comparison without affecting offer values.
