MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The insular cortex, which separates the frontal and temporal lobes, has long been thought to be the primary sensory area for taste. It also plays a role in other important functions, including visceral and emotional experience.

Detailed explanation-2: -The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions and learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cognitive factors, including word-level descriptions, and selective attention to affective value, modulate the representation of the reward value of taste, olfactory and flavor stimuli in the orbitofrontal cortex and a region to which it projects, the anterior cingulate cortex.
