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.

This study shows that the gustatory insular cortex in mice is crucial for decision-making during a taste-based reward task, with cognitive signals during a delay period driving behavior.

The paper shows that glomerular odor representations' similarity and activation strength determine the time needed for odor discrimination, independent of sniffing behavior.

This study shows that dopamine depletion in the motor cortex of mice impairs preparatory activity and delays licking initiation, linking dopaminergic signaling to motor deficits.
