Ventromedial prefrontal cortex response to concentrated sucrose reflects liking rather than sweet quality coding.

Chemical senses - 1 Sept 2013

Rudenga Kristin J, Small Dana M

Abstract excerpt

The perception of the pleasantness of sweet tastes varies widely across individuals. Here, we exploit these differences to isolate brain response to sweet-taste pleasantness while controlling for intensity, quality, and physiological significance. Thirty subjects participated in functional MRI scanning while consuming individually calibrated weak and strong sucrose solutions. All subjects found the weak sweet...
