The orbitofrontal cortex is known to carry information regarding expected reward, risk and experienced outcome. Yet, due toinherent limitations in lesion and neuroimaging methods, the neural dynamics of these computations has remained elusive inhumans. Here, taking advantage of the high temporal definition of intracranial recordings, we characterize the neurophysiologicalsignatures of the intact orbitofrontal cortex in processing information relevant for risky decisions. Local field potentials were recorded from the intact orbitofrontal cortex of patients suffering from drug-refractory partial epilepsy with implanted depthelectrodes as they performed a probabilistic reward learning task that required them to associate visual cues with distinct rewardprobabilities. We observed three successive signals: (i) around 400 ms after cue presentation, the amplitudes of the local fieldpotentials increased with reward probability; (ii) a risk signal emerged during the late phase of reward anticipation and during theoutcome phase; and (iii) an experienced value signal appeared at the time of reward delivery. Both the medial and lateralorbitofrontal cortex encoded risk and reward probability while the lateral orbitofrontal cortex played a dominant role incoding experienced value. The present study provides the first evidence from intracranial recordings that the human orbitofrontalcortex codes reward risk both during late reward anticipation and during the outcome phase at a time scale of milliseconds. Our findings offer insights into the rapid mechanisms underlying the ability to learn structural relationships from the environment.
