In this video, we explore how taste actually works and why your brain, not just your tongue, decides what you like.

I've already started preparing the rest of the video. I hope you enjoy watching it. Sources and reference readings: Eriksson et al. (2012) – Genetic basis of cilantro preference Karagiannaki et al.
