Music composed to evoke sweetness or sourness engaged taste-related brain regions and strengthened gustatory and sensorimotor ...

The gustatory system enables animals to detect and discriminate among foods, to select nutritious diets, and to initiate, sustain and terminate ingestion for the purpose of maintaining energy balance.

Gustatory signal processing in mammals encompasses a cascade of events beginning with the molecular recognition of tastants by specialised epithelial cells in the oral cavity and concluding with the ...

Studies on age-related gustatory function report a reduction of the taste function, but the degeneration of the peripheral papillae alone cannot explain this reduction. In the present study, we apply ...
