Decision-making and emotion are linked as fundamental cognitive processes that share neural substrates within the prefrontal cortex, as noted in [1]. Their functional relationship is further highlighted by research into the orbitofrontal cortex [2] and their shared evolutionary history as basic functions in developed animals [3].

referenceSubdivisions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) implicated in emotion and cognitive control processes, including decision-making, appraisal, and impulse control, include the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC).
