Misplaced “pleasure center”

THE ORBITOFRONTAL CORTEX is the region of the brain associated with subjective perceptions of pleasantness. An earlier version of a Health Blog post incorrectly described the orbitofrontal cortex as the “pleasure center” of the brain. Also, the post had mischaracterized the reason a researcher couldn’t tell us the name of wine preferred by the study subjects. The researcher remembered, but declined to divulge it. Link

It’s good to see that the Journal is correcting blog posts on its online corrections page.
