Dynamic taste responses of parabrachial pontine neurons in awake rats.
The parabrachial nuclei of the pons (PbN) receive almost direct input from taste buds on the tongue and control basic taste-driven behaviors. Thus it is reasonable to hypothesize that PbN neurons might respond to tastes in a manner similar to that of peripheral receptors, i.e., that these responses might be narrow and relatively "dynamics free." On the other hand, the majority of the input to P...
متن کاملParabrachial neural coding of taste stimuli in awake rats.
Parabrachial neural coding of taste stimuli in awake rats. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2254-2268, 1997. In awake, behaving rats, the activity of 74 single neurons in the pontine parabrachial nucleus (PBN) was recorded in response to sapid stimulation by 15 chemicals. Of these, 44 taste cells were tested with all 15 stimuli. Based on their responsiveness to 4 standard stimuli, these neurons were catego...
متن کاملInhibitory responses of parabrachial neurons evoked by taste stimuli in rat.
In the present study, the responses of inhibitory gustatory neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) to four basic taste stimuli NaCl, HCl, quinine HCl (QHCl) and sucrose were examined using single-unit recording technique in anesthetized rats. A total of 18 inhibitory taste neurons in the PBN were obtained. Spontaneous firing rates of these inhibitory neurons were 0.2-5.5 Hz with mean firing ...
متن کاملDynamic and multimodal responses of gustatory cortical neurons in awake rats.
To investigate the dynamic aspects of gustatory activity, we recorded the responses of small ensembles of cortical neurons to tastants administered to awake rats. Multiple trials of each tastant were delivered during recordings made in oral somatosensory (SI) and gustatory cortex (GC). When integrated tastant responses (firing rates averaged across 2.5 sec) were compared with water responses, 1...
متن کاملParabrachial calcitonin gene-related peptide neurons mediate conditioned taste aversion.
Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a phenomenon in which an individual forms an association between a novel tastant and toxin-induced gastrointestinal malaise. Previous studies showed that the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) contains neurons that are necessary for the acquisition of CTA, but the specific neuronal populations involved are unknown. Previously, we identified calcitonin gene-related pe...
