Sentences with phrase «gustatory nerve»

5 - HT1 receptors are expressed by type II taste cells and 5 - HT3 receptors are hypothesized to be expressed in gustatory nerve fibers (Jackson and Yakel, 1995; Wang et al., 2002).

Postsynaptic P2 × 3 - containing receptors in gustatory nerve fibres mediate responses to all taste qualities in mice

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).

First and foremost, amarogentin, a monoterpene, has antibacterial and antifungal attributes, and is also mainly responsible for the plant's highly bitter taste that stimulates the gustatory nerves in the mouth, increasing saliva production and appetite.

Not exact matches

In the present study, we demonstrate that a subset of gustatory sensory neurons express functional 5 - HT3 receptors that play a significant role in the neurotransmission of taste information from taste buds to nerves.

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.

Somatosensory innervation of these taste fields arises from the trigeminal nerve; therefore, cells of the geniculate ganglion that innervate taste fields are gustatory rather than somatosensory in function.

The majority of cells of the geniculate ganglion are gustatory, contributing to the chorda tympani and greater superficial petrosal nerves (Foley and DuBois, 1943; van Buskirk, 1945) innervating, respectively, fungiform papillae and palatal taste fields.
