Which of the following correctly lists the structures through which gustatory stimuli travel after being converted into neural signals?

After taste receptors convert gustatory stimuli into neural signals, the signals travel through cranial nerves to the brainstem. They then relay through the thalamus before reaching the insular cortex, where taste is processed. Thus, “cranial nerves, thalamus, insular cortex” is the correct sequence.
