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 ...

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 ...

The primary gustatory cortex, on the other hand, is part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for the perception of taste. Based on a previous study, the scientists discovered that 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 ...

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 ...
