Parabrachial Calca neurons influence aversive and appetitive taste function

This study investigates how PB-Calca neurons influence aversive and appetitive taste behaviors in mice, finding sex-dependent effects on sucrose preference and quinine avoidance.

Diverse thermosensory receptors and neurons mediate the neural coding of oral cooling in the mouse trigeminothalamic tract

The paper identifies diverse thermosensory neuron types in the mouse trigeminothalamic tract that encode oral cooling information through distinct response kinetics and population coding.

TRPV1-lineage somatosensory fibers communicate with taste neurons in the mouse parabrachial nucleus

The paper shows TRPV1-lineage fibers communicate with parabrachial taste neurons, integrating somatosensory and gustatory signals in mice.

Mouse parabrachial neurons signal a relationship between bitter taste and nociceptive stimuli

The paper investigates how bitter taste and nociceptive stimuli are linked in mouse parabrachial nucleus neurons using electrophysiology and optogenetics.
