The paper identifies two distinct classes of gaping behavior in rats, showing they are driven by different mechanisms related to taste-specific and generalized aversion.

The paper shows that individual taste preferences predict cortical taste dynamics but are modified by experience, demonstrating that taste processing changes with tasting experiences.

The paper shows that taste palatability changes across the estrous cycle in rats, with estradiol in the lateral hypothalamus modulating these changes.

The paper shows that benign taste experience increases cortical response reliability and discriminability in gustatory cortex during aversion conditioning to a novel taste.

This study shows that illness alters sensory cortical responses to tastes in rats, reducing response magnitudes and changing coding strategies to reflect a 'good-bad' perception of palatability.

The paper shows that perturbing BLA to GC projections alters GC taste response dynamics, specifically reducing palatability-related activity in the late epoch without affecting taste identity information.

The paper records spiking activity in mouse gustatory cortex during taste stimulation, finding temporal coding of taste identity and palatability and no anatomical taste specialization.
