Abstract
eTOC blurb Johnson et al. show that orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) lesions reduce working memory for temporal order but not spatial position, and individual behavioral deficits are commensurate with lesion size. Findings suggest that OFC supports understanding of the order of events.
TL;DRIt is shown that orbitofrontal cortex lesions reduce working memory for temporal order but not spatial position, and individual behavioral deficits are commensurate with lesion size. (Semantic Scholar)
