YPSILANTI, Mich., July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Research that studies the sensation in the oral cavity is the subject of a grant awarded to Joseph Breza, associate professor of neuroscience at Eastern Michigan University and Robin Krimm, professor of anatomy and neurobiology at University of Louisville. The National Institutes on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the $2,074,256 ($462,468 year one) grant to conduct a five-year-long study on the sense of touch and how it interacts with the sense of taste.

Key Points: 
  • Somatosensation is the sense of touch, temperature, and chemesthesis, which is the sensation of spices and menthol in the oral cavity.
  • Scientists have studied various aspects of somatosensation, including the development of the human somatosensory system.
  • Breza and Krimm are furthering the understanding of somatosensationby exploring touch-sensitive neurons and the connection between taste signals and the brain in transgenic mice.
  • The team will also investigate whether texture and taste signals from the oral cavity interact within the brainstem.
