Biochemical Studies of Taste Sensation
Large numbers of taste buds are distributed over the body surface of the channel catfish Zctalurus punctatus, with the barbels having an especially high density. L-Alanine, as well as certain other amino acids, are taste stimuli in this animal. Epithelial tissue obtained by gentle scraping of the barbel surface was fractionated by differential centrifugation. A sedimentable fraction (P2) was pr...
متن کاملMechanisms for Taste Sensation of Carbonation
Mechanisms for Taste Sensation of Carbonation David Yarmolinsky Carbonation, or the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in solution, is a commonly encountered feature of beverages in the contemporary human diet. While the popularity of carbonation may be attributed to its distinct sensory qualities, the specific orosensory pathways mediating CO2 detection in mammals have not previously b...
متن کاملMaking time with taste. Focus on "Taste response variability and temporal coding in the nucleus of the solitary tract of the rat".
Until recently, almost all debates concerning the neural coding of taste have focused on the labeled line (LL) and across neuron pattern (ANP) hypotheses. The former theory postulates that the identity of a taste on the tongue is signaled by activity in the particular subset of neurons dedicated to that task (the sodium neurons, for example); the latter postulates that tastant identity is signa...
متن کاملMaking the evidence (and arguments) count.
The academic field of medical ethics continues to evolve. One of the starkest features of this ongoing evolution is the increase in research studies that incorporate an empirical component. Although this trend is not new (Borry et al., 2006), empirical papers in the Journal of Medical Ethics now constitute a significant contribution to each and every issue. Disciplinary turf wars were a feature...
متن کاملIntravital Microscopic Interrogation of Peripheral Taste Sensation
Intravital microscopy is a powerful tool in neuroscience but has not been adapted to the taste sensory organ due to anatomical constraint. Here we developed an imaging window to facilitate microscopic access to the murine tongue in vivo. Real-time two-photon microscopy allowed the visualization of three-dimensional microanatomy of the intact tongue mucosa and functional activity of taste cells ...
