The Secondary Gustatory Cortex is located within the caudolateral region of the orbitofrontal cortex, which is located deep within the lateral fissure. In a study of the response characteristics of single neurons within the secondary gustatory cortex, some neurons were found to be responsive to a single taste quality, while others were responsive to several taste qualities.
