This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports scientific research to investigate the interactions between the gustatory thalamus and gustatory cortex in the neural processing of taste perception and behavior. The $413,123 award, with a project period from September 19, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will be performed by Brandeis University. The research aims to uncover new principles governing thalamo-cortical interactions within the gustatory system by simultaneously recording neuronal activity in the thalamus and cortex of awake, behaving rats during taste-related consumption and expulsion behaviors. This work is expected to advance the understanding of how multiple brain regions collaborate to produce sensory perception, decision-making, and naturalistic behaviors.
