Sommario/riassunto

Providing an essential brainstem relay for three cranial nerves, the NST coordinates highly complex sensory information. While other functions of the NST have received attention, its role in gustatory processing has received little. The first reference devoted exclusively to gustatory processing, The Role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing offers an in-depth review of one of the most important



central relay stations in the brain.Combining widely dispersed research into a comprehensive single volume, it presents a thorough historical background, documents the a
