Smell, taste, texture, and temperature multimodal representations in the brain, and their relevance to the control of appetite.

چکیده

The aims of this paper are to describe the rules of the cortical processing of taste and smell, how the pleasantness or affective value of taste and smell are represented in the brain, and to relate this to the brain mechanisms underlying emotion. Much of the fundamental evidence comes from studies in non-human primates, and this is being complemented by functional neuroimaging studies in humans.

Neural 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...

Reward Systems in the Brain and Nutrition.

The taste cortex in the anterior insula provides separate and combined representations of the taste, temperature, and texture of food in the mouth independently of hunger and thus of reward value and pleasantness. One synapse on, in the orbitofrontal cortex, these sensory inputs are combined by associative learning with olfactory and visual inputs for some neurons, and these neurons encode food...

Taste, olfactory, and food texture processing in the brain, and the control of food intake.

Complementary neurophysiological recordings in macaques and functional neuroimaging in humans show that the primary taste cortex in the rostral insula and adjoining frontal operculum provides separate and combined representations of the taste, temperature, and texture (including viscosity and fat texture) of food in the mouth independently of hunger and thus of reward value and pleasantness. On...
