Temporal synchrony and integration of sub-threshold taste and smell signals.
The importance of stimulus timing and location on the perceptual integration of taste and odour was studied based on a sub-threshold methodology. From a panel of 16 people, 12 showed the integration effect previously reported while 4 showed no effect. The experiment was repeated using retronasal and orthonasal delivery of the odour and with tastant present or absent in the mouth. Integration of...
متن کاملNeural Integration of Taste, Smell, Oral Texture, and Visual Modalities
The aims of this chapter are to describe how taste, olfactory, visual, oral sensory, and other sensory inputs are combined in the brain, how a representation of reward value is produced, and how cognition and selective attention influence this processing. Complementary neuronal recordings in primates, and functional neuroimaging in humans, show that the primary taste cortex in the anterior insu...
متن کاملSmell and taste disorders
Disorders of the chemical senses are frequent. They can severely affect our lives. Appropriate testing is needed to determine the nature of the patient's complaints. Because many chemosensory disorders are secondary to a wide variety of diseases, olfactory or gustatory complaints may help in establishing certain differential diagnoses, e.g. in Alzheimer's disease. In turn, treatment of the unde...
متن کاملTaste and Smell, Psychology of
There are five types of taste receptor cell, sweet, salt, bitter, sour, and umami (protein taste). There are 1000 olfactory receptor genes each specifying a different type of receptor each for a set of odors. Tastes are primary, unlearned, rewards and punishers, and are important in emotion. Pheromones and some other olfactory stimuli are primary reinforcers, but for many odors the reward value...
متن کاملMetallic taste and retronasal smell.
A series of experiments investigated the nature of metallic taste reports and whether they can be attributed to the development of a retronasal smell. Two studies showed that the metallic sensation reports following oral stimulation with solutions of FeSO4 were reduced to baseline when the nose was occluded. No such reduction was seen for CuSO4 or ZnSO4, which were more bitter and astringent, r...
