This study shows that MD neurons in mice encode taste identity, concentration, and predictive cues related to rewarding or aversive outcomes.

This study examines how gustatory cortex (GC) neurons encode thermal and chemosensory signals during licking in mice, finding that GC neurons use rate and phase information to distinguish temperature differences.

This study investigates how thermal information from the mouth is encoded in the gustatory cortex of awake mice, showing that neurons encode thermal data independently of taste and that some neurons process both taste and temperature.

This study shows that taste discrimination in mouse gustatory cortex neurons is enhanced when spike rate and timing are analyzed relative to lick timing, indicating the lick cycle is critical for taste processing.

This study investigates how the gustatory cortex of mice encodes chemosensory and hedonic features of taste during active licking, showing rapid encoding of taste identity and licking-related activity.
