Flynn P. O’Connell, Joshua D. Sammons, Steven A. Pilato, Patricia M. Di Lorenzo
The paper investigates how the parabrachial nucleus (PbN) in rats responds to liquid taste stimuli and solid foods, finding that PbN responses to liquids are not predictive of responses to solids and that odorants also elicit responses.
