 Smell & Taste
Radiation therapy patients with cancers of the head and neck later complain of lost smell and taste.
For example, what you may think is a taste problem could actually be a smell problem, because much of what you think you taste you really smell.
Because these senses contribute substantially to our enjoyment of life, our desire to eat, and be social, smell and taste disorders can be serious.

 Johns Hopkins Magazine - September 1996 Issue
The biological explanation is that taste and smell, like all senses, react strongly to change and surprise, but stop responding to stimuli that stay the same.
Unlike smell, taste holds up well, according to research by James Wieffenbach, an NIH researcher who has collaborated with Leopold in studying patients at Hopkins's Gerontology Research Center.
The well-known decline in the sense of smell seems to be the major cause, but Wieffenbach cautions doctors against just assuming that's the problem, especially when the complaint is not loss of taste but bad tastes.

 Linda Bartoshuk Q&A
The flushing usually extended to the chest and shoulders..." Lee concluded that the burn of the chilies and not their taste was responsible for the gustatory sweating.
After that when she reapplied capsaicin, it produced no burn (this is an example of the desensitization of the tongue that can be used to treat the pain of oral lesions); however, the only taste change was a slight reduction in the ability to taste bitter and that lasted on the order of days.
He went on to note, "In every subject, including the subject who did not sweat, there was an immediate flushing of the face and reddening of the conjunctivae on chewing chillies.

 Taste
In particular, Hume uses the term "taste" to segue between external and internal senses, and even to provide implicit justification for a fundamental analogy about between the internal and external domains.
This model helps to address the problem of subjectivity in the artistic and moral fields by relating it to idiosyncrasy in the sensory field.
Hume, Burke, and Gerard, among others, write essays explicitly devoted to investigating taste, and in these works there is a constant slippage between the physical-sensory, aesthetic, and moral domains, which is facilitated by the two principal levels of the word's meaning.

In the receptor cells, taste stimuli activate pathways that ultimately result in the release of neurotransmitter, which acts to change the activity of adjoining nerve fibers carrying signals to the brain.
