Ventromedial PFC
Teil des PFC
dieser ist für die emotionale ==Verbindung vom rationalen Denken zur Amygdala== und zum Hypothalamus verbunden
What you’d expect, given its inputs from limbic structures. It activates if the person you’re rooting for wins a game, or if you listen to pleasant versus dissonant music (particularly if the music provokes a shiver-down-the-spine moment).
What are the effects of vmPFC damage?
Lots of things remain normal—intelligence, working memory, making estimates. Individuals can “do the harder thing” with purely cognitive frontal tasks (e.g., puzzles where you have to give up a step of progress in order to gain two more).
The differences appear when it comes to making social/emotional decisions—vmPFC patients just can’t decide. They understand the options and can sagely advise someone else in similar circumstances. But the closer to home and the more emotional the scenario, the more they have problems.

In an inspired study where a keyboard was provided to jazz pianists inside a brain scanner, the vmPFC became more active and the dorsolateral PFC less so when subjects improvised.
