Salt and sour taste stimuli sense Na+ ions and H+ ions respectively. In order for sweet tastes to be sensed, the taste molecule must first bind to a protein receptor in a taste bud. The gustatory pathway for the processing of taste stimuli are relayed to the thalamus, and then to the gustatory cortex for processing by the brain.arrow_forward
