In primates, considerable evidence accumulated in the past 15 years indicates that these operations involve the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). IntroductionĮconomic choice entails computing and comparing the subjective values of different goods. Our results lay the foundations for a circuit-level analysis of economic decisions.

These groups match those previously identified in primates, except that the neuronal representation in mice is spatial (in monkeys it is good-based). Neuronal recordings revealed that different groups of cells encoded the values of individual options, the binary choice outcome and the chosen value. Optogenetic inactivation of LO dramatically disrupted choices by inducing erratic changes of relative value and by increasing choice variability. Choice patterns closely resembled those measured in primates.

In the experiments, mice chose between different juices offered in variable amounts. Here we present a mouse model of economic choice behavior, and we show that the lateral orbital (LO) area is intimately related to the decision process. Conversely, previous work in rodents provided conflicting results. Evidence from primates indicates that this behavior relies on the orbitofrontal cortex.
