labeled-line theory of taste coding

labeled-line theory of taste coding

a theory postulating that each gustatory neuron type comprises a private circuit through which the presence of its associated primary taste quality is signaled. The taste is perceived exclusively as a product of activity in that labeled line; activity in neurons outside the labeled line contributes only noise. Compare pattern theory of taste coding.
