The insular cortex controls food preferences independently of taste receptor signaling

The insular cortex controls food preferences independently of taste receptor signaling

The insular cortex (IC) contains the primary sensory cortex for oral chemosensation including gustation, and its integrity is required for appropriate control of feeding behavior. However, it remains unknown whether the role of this brain area in food selection relies on the presence of peripheral t...
