Retro Nasal blockade reduces the Neural Processing of Sucrose in the Human Brain

Hee-kyoung Ko, Jingang Shi, Thomas Eidenberger, Weiyao Shi, Ciara McCabe

This study shows that blocking retro nasal pathways reduces neural and subjective responses to sucrose taste, suggesting retro nasal sensations contribute to taste perception.
