SECONDARY TASTE CORTEX

Anatomical Location and Connectivity of the Secondary Taste Cortex The secondary taste cortex, a critical nexus for the processing of gustatory information, is located primarily within the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). The OFC resides in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, situated directly above the orbits of the eyes. This anatomical position is highly significant, placing it at […]
