abstract = {The gustatory system encodes information about chemical
identity, nutritional value, and concentration of sensory
stimuli before transmitting the signal from taste buds to
central neurons that process and transform the signal.
Deciphering the coding logic for taste quality requires
examining responses at each level along the neural
axis—from peripheral sensory organs to gustatory cortex.
From the earliest single-fiber recordings, it was clear that
some afferent neurons respond uniquely and others to stimuli
of multiple qualities. There is frequently a “best
stimulus” for a given neuron, leading to the suggestion
that taste exhibits “labeled line coding.” In the
extreme, a strict “labeled line” requires neurons and
pathways dedicated to single qualities (e.g., sweet, bitter,
etc.). At the other end of the spectrum, “across-fiber,”
“combinatorial,” or “ensemble” coding requires
minimal specific information to be imparted by a single
neuron. Instead, taste quality information is encoded by
simultaneous activity in ensembles of afferent fibers.
Further, “temporal coding” models have proposed that
certain features of taste quality may be embedded in the
cadence of impulse activity. Taste receptor proteins are
often expressed in nonoverlapping sets of cells in taste
buds apparently supporting “labeled lines.” Yet, taste
buds include both narrowly and broadly tuned cells. As
gustatory signals proceed to the hindbrain and on to higher
centers, coding becomes more distributed and temporal
patterns of activity become important. Here, we present the
conundrum of taste coding in the light of current
electrophysiological and imaging techniques at several
levels of the gustatory processing pathway.},
