Which of the following is NOT the case with respect to a primate's secondary cortical taste area?
Correct answer: B. There is no modulation of taste-responses in the secondary region of the brain
- A. It is also known as the orbitofrontal cortex
- B. There is no modulation of taste-responses in the secondary region of the brain
- C. As satiety develops, neuronal activity in the secondary taste cortex appears to make food less acceptable and less pleasant
- D. Electrical stimulation in the secondary taste cortex produces reward
Explanation
The secondary taste cortex, largely within the orbitofrontal cortex, is modulated by satiety: food becomes less pleasant after sufficient eating, and stimulation can produce reward. Therefore, saying that taste responses are not modulated there is false.
