Modulation of central gustatory coding by temperature

Abstract: Changes in oral temperature can influence taste perception, indicating overlap among mechanisms for taste and oral somesthesis. Medullary gustatory neurons can show cosensitivity to temperature, albeit how these cells process combined taste and thermal input is poorly understood. Here, we electrophysiologically recorded orosensory responses (spikes) from 39 taste-sensitive neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii of anesthetized mice during oral delivery of tastants adjusted to innocuous cool (16 and 18°C), ro… Show more

“…Our discussion centers on how temperature operates as a parameter of the magnitude and timing of gustatory activity to sucrose. Moreover, the present data further build on the postulate that oral somatosensory cues importantly guide and modulate the operation of neurobiological substrates for taste (e.g., Green 2002;Green and Nachtigal 2012;Wilson and Lemon 2013).…”

“…The presentation of taste solutions was carried out with a custom apparatus, as described previously (Lemon and Margolskee 2009;Wilson and Lemon 2013). Briefly, stimuli were loaded one at a time into a funnel and tubing system suspended above the preparation and drawn into the mouse oral cavity by gravity.…”
