… decreased by approximately 150 ms; recordings showed that the cue had an almost
identical impact on neural coding of that aversive taste. In the second experiment, optogenetic …

… mechanism of the gustatory neural code: information about taste appears to reside in … taste
network in the brain would suggest that the parameters of space and time extend to the neural …

… the response profiles of taste-responsive cells in the brainstem may be modulated by … taste
nerves. This idea was explored by testing the hypothesis that brief (100 msec) pulses of taste …

… Thus, no matter how stimuli are transduced and processed at the receptor level, the
activity of afferent neurons in the brain is ultimately responsible for coding taste information. …

… The patterning theory of gustatory neural coding asserts that taste quality is encoded in the
relative discharge rates of all gustatory neurons at a given synaptic level (the shape of the …

… The tuning properties of bitter-responsive cells found presently raise the possibility that
brain stem codes about “bitters” in our mice could be contributed by neurons that display …
