==== Taste modality in mammals ==== In mammals, taste stimuli are encountered by axonless receptor cells located in [[taste bud]]s on the tongue and [[pharynx]]. Receptor cells disseminate onto different [[neuron]]s and convey the message of a particular taste in a single medullar nucleus. This [[pheromone]] detection system deals with taste stimuli. The pheromone detection system is distinct from the normal taste system, and is designed like the [[olfactory system]].<ref name = "stocker">{{cite journal|last=Stocker|first=Reinhard F|title=Taste Perception: Drosophila β A Model of Good Taste|journal=Current Biology|date=1 July 2004|volume=14|issue=14|pages=R560βR561|doi=10.1016/j.cub.2004.07.011|pmid=15268874|doi-access=free}}</ref>
