Sentences with phrase «gustatory afferent»

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.

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

Not exact matches

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).
