Providing an essential brainstem relay for three cranial nerves,
the NST coordinates highly complex sensory information. While other
functions of the NST have received attention, its role in gustatory
processing has received little. The first reference devoted
exclusively to gustatory processing, The Role of the Nucleus of the
Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing offers an in-depth review of
one of the most important central relay stations in the brain.
Combining widely dispersed research into a comprehensive single
volume, it presents a thorough historical background, documents the
anatomy of the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (rNST), and
explores the properties of synaptic transmitters and neurons within
that tract. The book examines the role of reflex activities and
considers factors that influence how gustatory rNST neurons respond
to taste stimuli. It describes the development and maturational
changes the rNST undergoes and considers the challenge involved
with identifying rNST neural circuits. The Role of the Nucleus of
the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing brings together expert
investigators who have contributed substantially to the current
knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and developmental biology of
the solitary nucleus. This pertinent work serves as a standard
reference for those involved in the field, providing ready access
to past investigations and inviting practitioners to create new
approaches that will advance knowledge about the central processing
of gustatory information.
