Abstract
A diagram of the taste and related olfactory, somatosensory, and
visual pathways in primates is shown in Figure 1. Neurophysiological
studies in primates provide a foundation for understanding
taste, olfactory, and flavor processing, and neuroimaging in
humans, for the investigation of the tuning of individual neurons
provides the fundamental information about how these stimuli
are encoded in different brain areas using a sparse distributed
representation in which each neuron is tuned differently to other
neurons (Kadohisa, Rolls, & Verhagen, 2005; Rolls, 2008a,
2015; Rolls, Grabenhorst, & Parris, 2010; Rolls & Treves,
2011). Studies in nonhuman primates are especially relevant
(Rolls, 2014), for the taste pathways in primates proceed via the
thalamus to the taste cortex, whereas in rodents, there is a
pontine taste area that has direct subcortical connections (Small
& Scott, 2009); effects of satiety are found peripherally in the
nucleus of the solitary tract in rodents (Rolls & Scott, 2003;
Scott & Small, 2009); and rodents do not have the major part of
the primate including human orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the
granular part (Wise, 2008)
