Cross-modal stimuli are represented in the primary gustatory cortex according to their sensory identity, associability and predictive value.

The gustatory receptor PxylGr34 is tuned to the steroid plant hormone brassinolide and mediates the deterrent effects of brassinolide on feeding and ovipositing behaviors in Plutella xylostella.

Anatomical and synaptic reconstructions of gustatory axons from the adult Drosophila labellum reveal different classes of gustatory neurons recognizing different taste modalities.

Fruit flies can taste and avoid food contaminated with a bacterial toxin using the same channel protein that functions in humans as sensor of noxious chemical stimuli.

The cellular and molecular substrates that underlie the programmed behavioral response to a gustatory sex pheromone have been identified.

Blocking input from basolateral amygdala to gustatory cortex (GC) severely reduces the coherence of GC ensemble activity, which negatively affects epochal dynamics involved in driving palatability-driven consumption.

Gustatory information and hunger state impinge on a local, multilayered circuit that drives feeding initiation.

The role of CaMKII-GluA1 in the cortex in maintaining a given taste memory trace for an aversive association has been elucidated.

A new screening strategy for divergent homologs of insect odorant and gustatory receptors, based upon predicted three-dimensional structural similarity, unexpectedly identifies candidates in humans.

Live imaging and taste behavior analyses show that related members of the Gr28 gene subfamily are expressed in largely non-overlapping sets of neurons and mediate opposing taste behaviors.
