Actually, no part of the brain controls taste. The sense of smell is mostly what your sense taste comes from. Before u put the food into your mouth, your nose smells it. It is also smelling it while it is in your house. I believe your actual tongue can only taste sweet, sour, and salty. If u ever have time, when you're eating something hold your nose and keep ur nose held for a few seconds. Taste anything? Now let it go. U should definitely be able to taste it now. :) hope that helped.

  • "Thalamus - decides where to send incoming sensory data (from eyes, ears, mouth, skin)
  • Sensory cortex - interprets sensory data
  • Hippocampus - stores and retrieves conscious memories; processes sets of stimuli to establish context
  • Amygdala - decodes emotions; determines possible threat; stores fear memories
  • Hypothalamus - activates "fight or flight" response"
