abstract：:Primates have stimulated more interest than any other group as humans are ranked in this same mammalian order. Gustatory responses of human and nonhuman primates have already been compared for compounds such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polyols, amino acids, dipeptides, proteins, dihydrochalcones, sulfamates,...

This ability, attributed to vestibular sensory fusion, is often examined by asking subjects to adjust an indicator to match their subjective earth-fixed vertical (SV). We used two ...
