AI Article Synopsis
- Neuroimaging techniques have improved our understanding of how the brain responds to aesthetic experiences in art.
- Researchers are focusing on the dorsolateral and orbitofrontal cortices as key areas involved in aesthetic appreciation.
- The paper argues against the idea that these brain regions play a central role in determining aesthetic preferences, suggesting the need for further exploration of their connections and functions.
Article Abstract
The search for the underlying neural activation that occurs during subjective aesthetic experiences of artwork has been enhanced through neuroimaging techniques. Recently, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, alongside the orbitofrontal cortex, have been implicated in aesthetic appreciation, and this is the focus of the present paper. Here, the validity of this conclusion is examined through the discussion of its neuroanatomical connections and functional properties. It is proposed that the experimental evidence challenges the view that this area could hold a privileged position in a brain network involved in aesthetic preference.
