The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex is a region of the prefrontal cortex situated in the medial orbital surface of the frontal lobe that is critically involved in the evaluation of rewards, decision-making under uncertainty, and the regulation of emotional responses through its extensive connections with limbic and subcortical structures.
