Magnetic fields evoked by taste stimuli of the human tongue were measured over the whole head using a helmet-shaped 64 channel magnetoencephalography system in five normal subjects. The stimuli were 10% glucose and 0.3 M NaCl solutions and distilled water. The most prominent peak (N175m) appearing over the bilateral hemispheres had a latency of 150-210 ms. The N175m sources were located using a two-dipole model in a spherical conducting medium based on the individual head dimensions and superimposed on magnetic resonance images. The N175m dipoles due to 10% glucose and 0.3 M NaCl stimuli were located at the operculum and circum-insular areas in both hemispheres, but those due to distilled water could not be located accurately.

D014059 Tongue A muscular organ in the mouth that is covered with pink tissue called mucosa, tiny bumps called papillae, and thousands of taste buds. The tongue is anchored to the mouth and is vital for chewing, swallowing, and for speech. Tongues
D015225 Magnetoencephalography The measurement of magnetic fields over the head generated by electric currents in the brain. As in any electrical conductor, electric fields in the brain are accompanied by orthogonal magnetic fields. The measurement of these fields provides information about the localization of brain activity which is complementary to that provided by ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY. Magnetoencephalography may be used alone or together with electroencephalography, for measurement of spontaneous or evoked activity, and for research or clinical purposes.
