The paper investigates how the brain evaluates complex objects with multiple attributes, finding that ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and perirhinal cortex are involved in configural processing when value depends on the whole object rather than individual attributes.

The paper shows that the human ventromedial frontal lobe is critical for value inference based on multi-attribute configurations, not elemental attributes.

The study investigates whether the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is critical for non-reinforced preference changes in a cue-approach training task, finding no group-level difference between participants with VMF lesions and healthy controls.
