Article Synopsis
- The amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) are key brain regions involved in social behaviors and responses to emotions.
- Researchers investigated their role in responding to novelty, specifically whether they help distinguish between new and familiar stimuli or influence emotional reactions to novelty.
- The study with rhesus macaque monkeys revealed that those with damage to either the amygdala or OFC performed better in memory tasks related to novelty than control monkeys, suggesting that these regions are not essential for recognizing novelty but may affect emotional processing.
