The prefrontal cortex(PFC), which is considered to be the center of executive control, plays important roles also in motivational operations. In the primate PFC, there are neurons that are concerned with coding the presence or absence of the reward as the response outcome during the task performance. Also, there are PFC neurons that are related to the expectancy of the presence or absence of a particular reward;they show differential delay activity between reward and no-reward trials as well as differentiating their delay activity among different kinds of reward trials.

 The orbital part of the PFC(orbitofrontal cortex:OFC)has been indicated to be more concerned with motivation operations while the lateral part of the PFC(LPFC)is considered to be more concerned with executive function. Reward-related activity of OFC neurons is shown to be sensitive to motivational state of the organism while reward-related activity of LPFC neurons appears to reflect more cognitive aspects of reward information. Furthermore, there are LPFC neurons that are involved in both working memory and reward expectancy, and enhancement of working memory-related activity is observed in LPFC neurons when the more preferred reward is used. Thus, the OFC is predominantly concerned with motivational aspects of reward, while the LPFC appear to be involved in the integration of motivational and cognitive information for goal-directed behavior.
