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 pathway of taste from the tongue to the brain?

Taste buds on the tongue detect taste molecules and send signals via cranial nerves (VII, IX, X) to the gustatory nucleus in the brainstem. From there, taste information is relayed to the thalamus and then to the primary gustatory cortex in the brain for processing and perception of taste.


What is a nucleus and what does itt do?

You can think of the nucleus as the "brain" of the cells. It has functions similar to that of a brain. The nucleus is located in the center of the nucleolus of a cell.


What area is the taste gustatory area located?

The taste gustatory area is located in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex.


What are the receptor membranes of gustatory cells?

The receptor membranes of gustatory cells are found on taste buds located on the tongue and other parts of the oral cavity. These membranes contain taste receptors that detect different taste sensations such as sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.Signals from these receptors are sent to the brain to interpret and perceive flavors.


Where is the taste (gustatory) area located in the brain?

The gustatory area, responsible for processing taste, is primarily located in the insular cortex and the frontal operculum of the brain. These regions receive input from the taste buds via cranial nerves and integrate taste information with other sensory modalities. Additionally, the thalamus plays a crucial role in relaying taste signals to these cortical areas.


Lobe of the brain responsible for taste?

The frontal lobe controls the sense of smell

What lobe is the gustatory?

The gustatory (taste) sense is primarily processed in the parietal lobe of the brain. This lobe is responsible for integrating sensory information related to taste, touch, and temperature.


What part of the brain can you taste a burger in?

Taste is perceived in the gustatory cortex, which is located in the parietal lobe of the brain. This area processes information related to taste sensations from the tongue and communicates with other parts of the brain to create the perception of flavor.


What is the purpose of the nucleus in the brain?

There is no "nucleus" in a brain.
