Efecto del Estrés Social en Hombres y Mujeres Sobre la Activación de la Corteza Orbitofrontal Asociada a una Tarea de Reversión de Contingencias de Recompensa y Castigo (Social Stress Effects on Orbitofrontal Cortex Activation in Males and Females Related to a Reversal-Learning Task with Reward and Punishment Contingencies)
Several studies have shown that the orbitofrontal cortex is related to reward tasks and integration of emotional information and its activation is modulated in situations under stress. From this experimental design we look for elucidate the role of orbitofrontal cortex in choice tasks associated to reward and punishment values, the relation with social stress and the possibility of orbitofrontal cortex differential activation in men and women, because uncertainty tasks with sex differences have been previously reported. We propose the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to observe the orbitofrontal cortex activation during the reversal-learning task performance to evaluate the choice persistence related to a discriminative stimulus which predicts gain or loss with a specific probability.
