These interactions cause electrical changes in the taste cells which then send signals to the brain. (fitnessandpower.com)
The researchers took advantage of this to map electrical changes that occur when healthy cells in tissue die. (discovermagazine.com)
To answer that question, a team led by W. Rowland Taylor of Australian National University in Canberra and David Vaney of the University of Queensland in Brisbane used a method called patch clamping, which enables researchers to detect electrical changes in a single cell — in this case, ganglion cells in cultured rabbit retinas.
