p483fig13.02 The object-value categories in the orbitofrontal cortex require converging specific inputs from the sensory cortex and nonspecific incentive motivational inputs from the amygdala in order to fire.  When the orbitofrontal cortex fires, it can deliver top-down ART Matching Rule priming signals to the sensory cortical area by which it was activated, thereby helping to choose the active recognition categories there that have the most emotional support, while suppressing others, leading to attentional blocking of irrelevant cues.<BR>||  Cognitive-Emotional-Motor (CogEM) model.  Drive-> amygdala incentive motivational learning-> orbitofrontal cortex- need converging cue and incentive iputs to fire <-> sensory cortex- conditioned renforcer learning-> amygdala.  CS-> sensory cortex.  Motivated attention closes the cognitive-emotional feedback loop, focuses on relevant cues, and causes blocking of irrelevant cues.
