More Time to Taste. Focus on “Variability in Responses and Temporal Coding of Tastants of Similar Quality in the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract of the Rat”

Abstract

The taste system is ideal for investigations of temporal coding, because neural taste responses are time extensive and often difficult to differentiate by magnitude alone. In a recent article, [Roussin et al. 2008][1] show that spike-time patterning provides a necessary and efficient source of
