How are the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (part of the brain that uses reason), Orbitofrontal Cortex (part of the brain that uses emotion) and Dopamine (neurotransmitter that makes you feel good) related to confirmation bias?

Since confirmation bias is a tendency to accept/process information that is consistent with one's beliefs, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reasons in the limits/beliefs centred on the person and the orbitofrontal cortex will process the emotions that favor the person's beliefs and a rush of dopamine will be released causing the person to feel good after processing the information centred on their beliefs.
