Abstract:
Neuronal activity was recorded in the gustatory cortex of the golden Syrian hamster in response to application of taste stimuli to the anterior tongue. Two classes of inhibitory responses were detected: (1) a decrease in activity in response to application of individual taste stimuli: and (2) a decrease in activity in response to application of a mixture of taste stimuli but not in response to application of individual taste stimuli.
