This study shows that learning improves decision-related neural activity in the mouse gustatory insular cortex during taste discrimination tasks.

The paper shows that early taste experience in mice affects adult sucrose preference through changes in insular cortex circuitry and inhibitory plasticity.

This study uses calcium imaging to show that taste representations in the gustatory insular cortex of awake mice are sparse and distributed, lacking spatial clustering or topography.
