In contrast to projections from the vmPFC to the striatum, the OFC projects to the central and lateral parts of the VS.81 Here, these projections extend more centrally and overlap with inputs from the lateral aspects of the dPFC. OFC projections also continue dorsally along the medial regions of the caudate nucleus and ventromedial part of the putamen (Figure 4b). However, they are located lateral to those from the vmPFC Within the OFC projections, there also is some topography such that medial OFC regions terminate medial to those from more lateral OFC areas. Nonetheless, the overlap between the OFC terminals is large.
