Scientists, Using A New Technique, Have Now Confirmed And Identified The Part Of The Brain That’s Responsible For The Five Taste Groups: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter And Umami. An Older Cortex, A Specific Portion Of The Insular Cortex, In The Brain, Hidden Behind The Neocortex, Is Said To Be Responsible For This.
