Activating Neurons and Their Effects
51:08 - 59:20 (08:12)
The question of whether or not activated neurons in the brain are connected to areas that create a sense of valence or simply evoke distinct behaviors is raised, as well as the challenge of determining whether or not activating neurons is evoking a positive feeling or simply increasing licking.

Summary
The question raised is whether the separate sets of neurons connected to areas of the brain create a sense of valence or evoke distinct behaviors towards sweet or bitter flavors. Activating different groups of neurons causes the animals to increase licking behavior.
