Orbital frontal cortex (OFC) research has historically emphasized the function of this associative cortical area within top-down theoretical frameworks. This approach has largely focused on mapping OFC activity onto human-defined psychological or cognitive constructs and has often led to OFC circuitry bearing the weight of entire theoretical frameworks. New techniques and tools developed in the last decade have made it possible to revisit long-standing basic science questions in neuroscience and answer them with increasing sophistication. We can now study and specify the genetic, molecular, cellular, and circuit architecture of a brain region in much greater detail, which allows us to piece together how they contribute to emergent circuit functions. For instance, adopting such systematic and unbiased bottom-up approaches to elucidating the function of the visual system has paved the way to building a greater understanding of the spectrum of its computational capabilities. In the same vein, we argue that OFC research would benefit from a more balanced approach that also places focus on novel bottom-up investigations into OFC's computational capabilities. Furthermore, we believe that the knowledge gained by employing a more bottom-up approach to investigating OFC function will ultimately allow us to look at OFC's dysfunction in disease through a more nuanced biological lens.

呼吁采用更平衡的方法来理解眶额皮质功能。

眶额叶皮层 (OFC) 研究历来强调自上而下的理论框架内这种关联皮层区域的功能。这种方法主要侧重于将 OFC 活动映射到人类定义的心理或认知结构上,并且经常导致 OFC 电路承载整个理论框架的重量。过去十年开发的新技术和工具使重新审视神经科学中长期存在的基础科学问题并以越来越复杂的方式回答这些问题成为可能。我们现在可以更详细地研究和指定大脑区域的遗传、分子、细胞和电路结构,这使我们能够拼凑出它们如何促成紧急电路功能。例如,采用这种系统和公正的自下而上的方法来阐明视觉系统的功能,为更好地理解其计算能力的范围铺平了道路。同样,我们认为 OFC 研究将受益于一种更加平衡的方法,该方法也将重点放在对 OFC 计算能力的新的自下而上的调查上。此外,我们相信,通过采用更自下而上的方法研究 OFC 功能所获得的知识最终将使我们能够通过更细致的生物学视角来研究 OFC 在疾病中的功能障碍。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。我们认为,OFC 研究将受益于更平衡的方法,该方法也将重点放在对 OFC 计算能力的新颖自下而上的调查上。此外,我们相信,通过采用更自下而上的方法研究 OFC 功能所获得的知识最终将使我们能够通过更细致的生物学视角来研究 OFC 在疾病中的功能障碍。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。我们认为,OFC 研究将受益于更平衡的方法,该方法也将重点放在对 OFC 计算能力的新颖自下而上的调查上。此外,我们相信,通过采用更自下而上的方法研究 OFC 功能所获得的知识最终将使我们能够通过更细致的生物学视角来研究 OFC 在疾病中的功能障碍。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
