The chorda tympani nerve (CT) mediates taste from the anterior part of the tongue. Here we studied the effects of ethanol on the tongue in recordings from both the whole CT nerve and individual taste fibers of the rhesus monkey, M. mulatta. The response to ethanol consisted of a phasic and a tonic part. At the lowest concentration tested (0.3 M) ethanol gave a response in some animals and at 0...
Data are presented from 48 taste fibers in chorda tympani nerves of 10 chimpanzees during taste stimulation with 29 stimuli. The results demonstrated a higher taste fiber specificity than in any other mammalian species reported; breadth of tuning equals 0.3. Hierarchical cluster analysis separated an S-cluster (50% of all fibers), an N-cluster (31%), and a Q-cluster (19%). The S-cluster showed...
The understanding of the sense of taste in mammals has over the last few decades slowly changed from the misconception that all mammals are equal with regard to taste to a realization that there are profound differences between species. These differences probably pertain to all basic tastes, but have been especially documented with regard to the sweet taste. This study addresses two issues: the...
