TL;DR: In this theory, the CA3 system operates as a single attractor or autoassociation network to enable rapid, one-trial, associations between any spatial location and an object or reward, and to provide for completion of the whole memory during recall from any part.

TL;DR: The first evidence of how the temperature of what is in the mouth is represented at the neuronal level in the orbitofrontal cortex is provided and the first evidence for any primate cortical area that in some cases this information converges onto single neurons with inputs produced by other sensory properties of food, including taste and texture is described.

TL;DR: In an fMRI study, this paper found that decision-making about affective value was related with larger signals in the dorsal part of medial area 10 and the agranular insula, whereas decisions about intensity were related to larger activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dorsolateral PFC), ventral premotor cortex, and anterior insula.

TL;DR: It is shown that a single recurrent attractor network can store both the discrete memories that characterize episodic memory and the continuous representations that characterize physical space in a single network.

TL;DR: It is proposed that umami can be thought of as a rich and delicious flavor that is produced by a combination of glutamate taste and a consonant savory odor and is thus a flavor enhancer because of the way that it can combine supralinearly with consonant odors in cortical areas in which the taste and olfactory pathways converge far beyond the receptors.
