description | While the cortical representation of sensory stimuli is well described for some sensory systems, a clear understanding of the cortical representation of taste stimuli remains elusive. Recent investigations have focused on both spatial and temporal organization of taste responses in the putative taste region of insular cortex. This review highlights recent literature focused on spatiotemporal coding strategies in insular cortex. These studies are examined in the context of the organization and function of the entire insular cortex, rather than a specific gustatory region of insular cortex. In regard to a taste quality-specific map, imaging studies have reported conflicting results, whereas electrophysiology studies have described a broad distribution of taste-responsive neurons found throughout insular cortex with no spatial organization. The current collection of evidence suggests that insular cortex may be organized into a hedonic or “viscerotopic” map, rather than one ordered according to taste quality. Further, it has been proposed that cortical taste responses can be separated into temporal “epochs” representing stimulus identity and palatability. This coding strategy presents a potential framework, whereby the coordinated activity of a population of neurons allows for the same neurons to respond to multiple taste stimuli or even other sensory modalities, a well-documented phenomenon in insular cortex neurons. However, these representations may not be static, as several studies have demonstrated that both spatial representation and temporal dynamics of taste coding change with experience. Collectively, these studies suggest that cortical taste representation is not organized in a spatially discrete map, but rather is plastic and spatially dispersed, using temporal information to encode multiple types of information about ingested stimuli.
Impact statement
The organization of taste coding in insular cortex is widely debated. While early work has focused on whether taste quality is encoded via labeled line or ensemble mechanisms, recent work has attempted to delineate the spatial organization and temporal components of taste processing in insular cortex. Recent imaging and electrophysiology studies have reported conflicting results in regard to the spatial organization of cortical taste responses, and many studies ignore potentially important temporal dynamics when investigating taste processing. This review highlights the latest research in these areas |
