Neural circuits for taste sensation

초록

The sense of taste arises from the detection of chemicals in food by taste buds, the peripheral cellular detectors for taste. Although numerous studies have extensively investigated taste buds, research on neural circuits from primary taste neurons innervating taste buds to the central nervous system has only recently begun owing to recent advancements in neuroscience research tools. This minireview focuses primarily on recent reports utilizing advanced neurogenetic tools across relevant brain regions. (c) 2024 The Author(s).
