摘要
The insular cortex (IC) contains the primary sensory cortex for oral chemosensation including gustation, and its integrity is required for appropriate control of feeding behavior. However, it remains unknown whether the role of this brain area in food selection relies on the presence of peripheral taste input. Using multielectrode recordings, we found that the responses of populations of neurons in the IC of freely licking, sweet-blind Trpm5 −/−mice are modulated by the rewarding p

凸出的皮质（IC）含有用于口服化学化的主要感觉皮质，包括燃料，并且其完整性是适当控制饲养行为。然而，它仍然未知是否该脑面积在食物选择中的作用依赖于外周味道输入的存在。使用多电极记录，我们发现，通过奖励P调制了自由舔的IC中神经元群体的响应
