Where is the gustatory nucleus located in the brain?
The gustatory cortex of the brain is located in the parietal lobe (which deals w/ many senses... keep in mind this part of the brain contains the somato-sensory cortex on the post-central gyrus and this lobe of the brain deals w/ integrating senses).
What is the function of the primary gustatory cortex?
Simply stated, it is the area of the occipital lobe in the back of the brain responsible for processing visual information into an image that the person sees. The visual association cortex is responsible for associating these images with items the person knows. If you look at a set of keys with your eyes, the signal is processed into an image by the primary visual cortex, while the visual association cortex lets the brain know that you are looking at keys.
What is the name of the cortex that detects taste?
The primary gustatory cortex. Special sensory information for taste reaches the gustatory cortex via the chorda tympani and greater petrosal branch of the facial nerve, the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. The special sensory information for taste originates in taste buds located on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, pharynx, and the upper part of the esophagus.
What cortex does the frontal lobe analyzes sensory information carried by nerve impulses from the tongue and taste receptors?
Gustatory
What area is the taste gustatory area located?
Insula
Where are the majority of nephrons located?
The majority of nephrons are located in the outer region of the cortex.
Where is the secondary olfactory cortex located in the brain?
The olfactory cortex is located within the medial temporal lobes.
Where is the primary auditory cortex is located?
The primary auditory cortex is located in the Temporal Lobe of the brain.
Where are taste impulses from?
Taste impulses are from a region in the brain called the primary gustatory cortex. The sense of taste is ultimately felt on various areas of the tongue where taste buds are present.
What is gustatory nerve?
the gustatory nerves
Where the auditory cortex is located?
The auditory cortex is located in the brain, and is responsible for processing auditory information received from the ears.
Where is located the primary motor cortex?
The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus of the the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.
