Background The sensation of taste provides reinforcement for eating and is of possible
relevance to the clinical problem of obesity. Objective Positron emission tomography (PET)
was used to explore regions of the brain that were preferentially affected during the taste
perception of a liquid meal by 11 right-handed, lean men in the fasting state. Design After
subjects had fasted for 36 h, 2 measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF)
obtained immediately after subjects retained and swallowed 2 mL of a flavored liquid meal …
