Each patient was unresponsive to sour stimuli, but both showed normal responses to bitter, sweet, and salty stimuli. METHODS AND FINDINGS Lingual fungiform papillae, containing taste cells, were obtained by biopsy from the two p...
متن کاملSour Taste Responses in Mice Lacking PKD Channels
BACKGROUND The polycystic kidney disease-like ion channel PKD2L1 and its associated partner PKD1L3 are potential candidates for sour taste receptors. PKD2L1 is expressed in type III taste cells that respond to sour stimuli and genetic elimination of cells expressing PKD2L1 substantially reduces chorda tympani nerve responses to sour taste stimuli. However, the contribution of PKD2L1 and PKD1L3 ...

While aspects of electric taste await a full explanation, such farreaching claims have significant implications for the future of electrogustometry in clinical practice. The current paper presents a critique of the grounds upon whi...
