Resumen de The Gustatory and Olfactory Systems During Infancy: Implications for Development of Feeding Behaviors in the High-Risk Neonate
Sarah V. Lipchock, Danielle R. Reed, Julie A. Mennella
This article reviews the development of the senses of taste and smell, which provide information on the flavor of foods, and discusses how innate predispositions interact with early-life feeding experiences to form children�s dietary preferences and habits. A basic understanding of the development and functioning of the chemical senses during early childhood may assist in forming evidence-based strategies to improve children�s diets, especially for those who experience a discontinuity or disruption in early flavor experiences.
