- W4309247688 abstract "Flavour refers to the sensory experience of food, which is a combination of sensory inputs sourced from multiple modalities during consumption, including taste and odour. Previous work has demonstrated that orally-sourced taste and odour cues interact to determine perceptual judgements of flavour stimuli, although the underlying cellular- and circuit-level neural mechanisms remain unknown. We recently identified a region of the piriform olfactory cortex in rats that responds to both taste and odour stimuli. Here, we investigated how converging taste and odour inputs to this area interact to affect single neuron responsiveness ensemble coding of flavour identity. To accomplish this, we recorded spiking activity from ensembles of single neurons in the posterior piriform cortex (pPC) in awake, tasting rats while delivering taste solutions, odour solutions and taste + odour mixtures directly into the oral cavity. Our results show that taste and odour inputs evoke highly selective, temporally-overlapping responses in multisensory pPC neurons. Comparing responses to mixtures and their unisensory components revealed that taste and odour inputs interact in a non-linear manner to produce unique response patterns. Taste input enhances trial-by-trial decoding of odour identity from small ensembles of simultaneously recorded neurons. Together, these results demonstrate that taste and odour inputs to pPC interact in complex, non-linear ways to form amodal flavour representations that enhance identity coding. KEY POINTS: Experience of food involves taste and smell, although how information from these different senses is combined by the brain to create our sense of flavour remains unknown. We recorded from small groups of neurons in the olfactory cortex of awake rats while they consumed taste solutions, odour solutions and taste + odour mixtures. Taste and smell solutions evoke highly selective responses. When presented in a mixture, taste and smell inputs interacted to alter responses, resulting in activation of unique sets of neurons that could not be predicted by the component responses. Synergistic interactions increase discriminability of odour representations. The olfactory cortex uses taste and smell to create new information representing multisensory flavour identity." @default.
