Taste stimuli are in discrete regions in the brain

Dear All
Sweet Here, Salty There: Evidence for a Taste Map in the Mammalian Brain
A paper published this week in Science presents a new picture of how taste isencoded in the mouse gustatory cortex, the region of the brain devoted toprocessing taste stimuli.
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/333/6047/1213[http://app.aaas-science.org/e/er.aspx?s=1906&lid=6794&elq=350bec4c3e3d4bb49af91949db47e384]
Following the finding a decade ago that the localisation of sensors (gustatory receptors) reside in particular parts of the tongue for different types of taste, this paper reports use of optical imaging techniques to detect similar presence of loci in the brain to interpret them.
