Sentences with phrase «afferents express»

To first determine whether gustatory afferents express GFP in 5 - HT3AGFP mice, we examined the geniculate ganglion and taste buds.

We investigated whether gustatory afferents express functional 5 - HT3 receptors and, if so, whether these receptors play a role in transmission of taste information from taste buds to nerves.

Not exact matches

Since we all express our emotions nonverbally, copying those expressions affects our own emotions due to an «afferent feedback mechanism.»

Natriuretic polypeptide b is the primary neurotransmitter in TRPV1 - expressing, itch - sensitive afferent nerve fibers.

All taste fibers express ionotropic purinergic (P2X) receptors (Bo et al., 1999; Ishida et al., 2009) that are required for transmission from taste receptor cells to the afferent nerves; genetic deletion or pharmacological blockade of the P2X2 and P2X3 receptors expressed by the gustatory nerve fibers eliminates chorda tympani nerve responses to all taste stimuli (Finger et al., 2005; Ohkuri et al., 2012; Jaber et al., 2014; Vandenbeuch et al., 2015).

If a significant stimulation of 5 - HT3 expressing afferents occurs with sweet tastant stimulation, then one would expect sweet - tasting stimuli to evoke indirect side band excitation of sour - best afferent fibers.
