Research Background Taste is a primary channel controlling feeding behavior. Taste substances are first recognized by taste receptor cells (TRCs) on the epithelium of the tongue and palate. Activated TRCs then transmit their signals synaptically to the taste cortex. Previously, the authors identified the cells mediating all five basic taste modalities (sweet, bitter, umami, salty, […]
