In this review, we will focus on the apparent multisensory functions of the primary gustatory cortex (GC). In fact, both electrophysiological and functional neuroimaging studies make a strong case ...

But for taste, which could be considered our most pleasurable sense, precisely where the "gustatory" cortex is and how ... its precise location differed across people and this same spot responded ...

Here, the authors examine how four basic tastes are represented in the human brain, showing evidence of the human gustatory cortex in the insula. The identity and hedonic value of tastes are ...

Re-mapping taste in the brain New study reveals that the cortex Date: November 12, 2020 Source: Stony Brook University Summary: A new study found that the map of neural responses mediating taste ...

The team demonstrated that these GABA receptors are present in excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the gustatory cortex. They infused allopregnanolone locally into the gustatory cortex of the ...

fMRI indicates activations in the anterior ... In humans the identification of the primary gustatory cortex (PGC) is still under debate. Neuroimaging studies indicate insula and overlying opercula as ...

Gustatory sweating is sweating that occurs on the forehead, scalp, neck, and upper lip during meals. People may also experience this sweating after eating. For many people, sweating occurs due to ...

The study, by researchers from the Stony Brook University in the US, may change the way neuroscientists think about the role of the gustatory cortex - the part of the brain responsible for the ...
