This study investigates the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in learning state transitions, finding that OFC activity correlates with more optimal predictions rather than simple prediction errors.

The paper uses fMRI and MVPA to show that similar lingering thoughts during encoding increase the likelihood of recalling related memories together.

This study shows that the orbitofrontal cortex encodes a posterior probability distribution over latent causes using fMRI pattern similarity analyses.
