According to media reports, these 3D images created by Scottish AI offer an unprecedented insight into the biological makeup of the surface of our tongue and how each person's sense of taste and touch differs from one to another. Happens, sheds light on it.
Experts said in this regard that this study can help in different food preferences in each person, their healthy alternatives and early detection of oral cancer.
A team of researchers led by the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics in Scotland, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, trained AI computer models to analyze three-dimensional microscopic scans of the human tongue to reveal the unique features of the papillae.
Papillae are tiny bumps on the tongue and each papillae contains about 100 microscopic taste-sensing granules.
