A neuroanatomical diagram showing the gustatory neural pathway from tongue taste buds to the cerebral cortex. Afferent fibers of cranial nerves VII (facial nerve), IX (glossopharyngeal nerve), and X (vagus nerve) arise in lingual papillae and project to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in the medulla, ascend to the ventral posteromedial (VPM) nucleus of the thalamus, and terminate in the insular gustatory cortex. The illustration depicts peripheral and central nervous system hierarchy in Homo sapiens (human), relevant to sensory physiology and perception of taste.
