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

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.

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

Primary taste cortex does far more than code tastes by turning taste codes into motor commands via population dynamics.

The coactivity of cortical neurons in associative learning recruits them as associative memory cells based on their synapse interconnections by neuroligin-3-mediated synapse formation, which endorses the first order and the second order of associative memory.

The neural representation of perceived sucrose intensity was contained in the firing rate and spike-timing of a 'small' population of neurons distributed across the Insula and Orbitofrontal taste cortices.

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

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

Stk11 and Fos expression plays an important role in CTA long-term memory formation by modulating the intrinsic excitability of BLApn.

The evolutionary transition of the agricultural pest Drosophila suzukii to egg laying on ripe fruits was paralleled with several gustatory innovations.
