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 ...

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 ...

But for taste, which could be considered our most pleasurable sense, precisely where the "gustatory ... cortex, which separates the frontal and temporal lobes, has long been thought to be the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The women who had recovered from anorexia—those who formerly starved themselves—showed less activity than the healthy women in a reward center in the brain known as the primary gustatory cortex.
