Taste-sensing taste cells are scattered on the surface of the tongue, throat, and the deep part of the upper jaw known as the soft palate. After sensing the taste molecules, the taste cells first transmit the information to the arc nucleus of the medulla oblongata through the taste nerve. The arc bundle nucleus transmits the received taste information to the primary taste cortex of the brain to analyze the intensity and nature of the taste. Then, the taste information will be integrated with the information from smell, touch, taste and so on. It was only at this point that we formed the impression of the taste of the food. In the amygdala (attached to the end of the hippocampus, almond-shaped, part of the limbic system), we form emotional judgments about food, the hypothalamus secretes hormones responsible for appetite, and the hippocampus forms our memory of taste.

It is not the tongue but the brain that helps us recognize the taste
