The stimulation received by the taste receptors in the front 2/3 of the tongue is transmitted through the cord tympani of the facial nerve; the taste sensation in the back 1/3 of the tongue is transmitted by the glossopharyngeal nerve; the taste receptors in the middle of the back 1/3 of the tongue and the soft palate, pharynx and epiglottis Stimulation is transmitted by the vagus nerve. Taste enters the brainstem through the axons of the facial nerve, lingual nerve and vagus nerve, finally the nucleus of the solitary tract, replaces neurons, and then reaches the gustatory area of the insula through the thalamus.
