Now we can go to the brain of this mice and go to this area that we now uncover, discover as being the side of multisensory integration between taste and odor, and silence it, prevent it from being activated experimentally.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Now we can go to the brain of this mice and go to this area that we now uncover, discover as being the side of multisensory integration between taste and odor, and silence it, prevent it from being activated experimentally. And if that area really represented the integration of these two, the animals should still be able to recognize the taste alone. They still should be able to recognize the other alone, but should be incapable now to recognize the mix, and exactly as predicted.
