Anatomical evidence for convergence of olfactory, gustatory, and visceral afferent pathways in mouse cerebral cortex
Abstract
Flavor perception requires the neural integration of olfactory, gustatory and, possibly, visceral afferent information. Presently, it is not known where, or how this integration takes place in the brain. Neuroanatomical data presented here suggest that pathways subserving these sensory modalities converge in mouse insular cortex after surprisingly few synaptic relays. Orthograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) was used to label main olfactory bulb (MOB) efferents. A projection into layer I of insular cortex was present in every case. Bulb transections were made to provoke anterograde degeneration and EM analysis confirmed that the olfactory projection to insular cortex was a terminal pathway. WGA-HRP injections in the MOB-recipient zone of insular cortex resulted in ortho and retrograde labeling of ascending and descending gustatory-visceral afferent pathways. It is concluded that in the mouse, there is a remarkably direct convergence of olfactory and gustatory-visceral sensory pathways in insular cortex. Together with the descending connections from insular cortex to the amygdala and to brainstem autonomic structures, it is possible that the cortical integration of olfactory and gustatory-visceral information could modulate mechanisms involved in food selection and autonomic reactions relating to the chemical senses. Basic mechanisms subserving flavor perception might be usefully modelled in mouse insular cortex.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
