Sensory impulses from taste receptor cells travel on fibers…
Sensory impulses from taste receptor cells travel on fibers of 3 different cranial nerves, according to the location of the taste cells: Facial nerve (VII). Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). Olfactory Nerve (I). Cranial nerves conduct impulses into medulla oblongata. Impulses then proceed to the thalamus. Impulses are interpreted in the gustatory cortex in the insula.
