Taste responses of cortical neurons

Progress in Neurobiology
T Yamamoto

Abstract

Branches of the facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves which synapse with the receptor cells in the taste buds convey taste messages to the rostral part of the nucleus of the solitary tract. The second relay nucleus for ascending taste input is the parabrachial nucleus of the pons. The third relay nucleus is the medial parvocellular component of the ventrobasal complex of the thalamus. This thalamic nucleus projects to the cortical taste area. Another ascending projection site of the parabrachial nucleus is to the lateral hypothalamus, amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. In monkeys, neurons from the gustatory area of the solitary nucleus directly reach the thalamic taste area, bypassing the parabrachial nucleus. Taste-elicited reflex activities are based on a hedonic (acceptable or rejective) aspect of taste, and are basically determined in the brain stem without activation of cortical neurons. The cerebral cortical taste area is located dorsal to the rhinal sulcus in or near the insular cortex in different species of animals. Besides this taste area, taste inputs also project to the tongue tactile area of the SI in monkeys, cats and rats. Taste-responsive neurons in SI area are also responsive to light tactile...Continue Reading
