- •
fMRI activations evoked by lateralized tongue salt and water stimuli were studied.
- •
Cortical activations were attributed to combined tactile and gustatory stimulation.
- •
Anterior insula–frontal operculum were bilaterally activated from either hemitongue.
- •
Inferior postcentral gyrus was bilaterally activated.
- •
Hypotheses about neural circuitry underlying bilateral activation are discussed.
