Taste and Olfactory Processing in the Brain and Its Relation to the Control of Eating
Abstract
Taste processing in primates through the nucleus of the solitary tract and the primary taste cortex is shown to represent the identity and intensity of taste inputs. In contrast, in the secondary taste cortex in the orbitofrontal area, single neurons respond to the taste of a food only if hunger is present. The neurons here reflect the reward value of taste. They show sensory-specific satiety. In addition to neurons with best responses to sweet, salt, bitter, and sour, there are separate representations of the taste of protein ("umami") and of astringency (e.g., tannic acid). In the orbitofrontal cortex, olfactory inputs converge onto neurons with taste inputs, forming representations of flavor. Neurons in this region may also respond to the sight of food and to its texture. The olfactory representation for some neurons reflects the taste association of odors; and olfactory sensory-specific satiety is represented in this part of the brain. Rapid learning of visual-to-taste associations is also a feature of the neural processing that occurs in the orbitofrontal 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.
