Really think you taste bitter over here and sour over there? Sorry

That taste maps don't work has been know a long time; the real news here is that every single taste bud (at least in mice) has receptors for many different kinds of taste.

Interesting, thanks. Sounds like the taste map concept is long overdue for an overhaul.

When I first learned of the tongue map, I thought my tongue was defective. I certainly never experienced taste that way.
