| Research Abstract |
We investigated neural projection between candidates of the Primary gustatory area(PGA) and the thalamus. PGA should have efferent projection from the thalamus. Neural projection between the thalamus and the transition area between the parietal operculum and insula(area G), and the thalamus and the frontal operculum, or anterior insula were investigated using whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) analysis. This technique found neural connection between the parietal op. and thalamus, but no connection between the frontal op and thalamus.
