Background: Consumption of fat is regulated by reward and homeostatic pathways, but no studies have examined the role of the intake of a high fat meal (HFM) on subsequent brain activation to oral stimuli. Objective: We evaluated how prior consumptio... Read More about Prior Consumption of a Fat Meal in Healthy Adults Modulates the Brain's Response to Fat.

Thermal taster status: evidence of cross-modal integration (2016)
Journal Article
Hort, J., Ford, R. A., Eldeghaidy, S., & Francis, S. T. (2016). Thermal taster status: evidence of cross-modal integration. Human Brain Mapping, 37(6), 2263-2275. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23171

Thermal taster status refers to the finding that, in some individuals, thermal stimulation of the tongue elicits a phantom taste. Little is known regarding the mechanism for this, it is hypothesised to be a result of cross-wiring between gustatory an... Read More about Thermal taster status: evidence of cross-modal integration.
