Coevolutionary patterning of teeth and taste buds [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance Teeth and taste buds are placode-derived organs studied in isolation because of their separate anatomical locations in mammals. Yet, the mouth and pharynx of many aquatic vertebrates, including bony fishes, are lined with teeth and taste buds, one next to the other.

Processing Umami and Other Tastes in Mammalian Taste Buds [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Neuroscientists are now coming to appreciate that a significant degree of information processing occurs in the peripheral sensory organs of taste prior to signals propagating to the brain. Gustatory stimulation causes taste bud cells to secrete neurotransmitters that act on adjacent taste bud cells (paracrine transmitters) as well as on primary sensory

Breadth of Tuning and Taste Coding in Mammalian Taste Buds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2007
A longstanding question in taste research concerns taste coding and, in particular, how broadly are individual taste bud cells tuned to taste qualities (sweet, bitter, umami, salty, and sour). Taste bud cells express G-protein-coupled receptors for sweet, bitter, or umami tastes but not in combination.

Glycoconjugate in Rat Taste Buds.

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2001
The taste buds of the fungiform papillae, circumvallate papilla, foliate papillae, soft palate and epiglottis of the rat oral cavity were examined by lectin histochemistry to elucidate the relationships between expression of glycoconjugates and innervation. Seven out of 21 lectins showed moderate to intense staining in at least more than one taste bud.

Quantitative Analysis of Taste Bud Cell Numbers in the Circumvallate and Foliate Taste Buds of Mice

open access: yesChemical Senses, 2020
Abstract A mouse single taste bud contains 10–100 taste bud cells (TBCs) in which the elongated TBCs are classified into 3 cell types (types I–III) equipped with different taste receptors. Accordingly, differences in the cell numbers and ratios of respective cell types per taste bud may affect taste-nerve responsiveness.

Oxytocin Signaling in Mouse Taste Buds

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The neuropeptide, oxytocin (OXT), acts on brain circuits to inhibit food intake. Mutant mice lacking OXT (OXT knockout) overconsume salty and sweet (i.e. sucrose, saccharin) solutions. We asked if OXT might also act on taste buds via its receptor, OXTR.Using RT-PCR, we detected the expression of OXTR in taste buds throughout the oral cavity, but not in

Embryonic Origin of Amphibian Taste Buds

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 1995
Despite numerous descriptive studies, the embryonic origin of vertebrate taste buds has never been experimentally determined. A number of different alternatives have been suggested for taste bud origins, including epibranchial placodes, the neural crest, and the local epithelium of the oropharyngeal cavity. The role of a series of epibranchial placodes

Cellular Mechanisms in Taste Buds

open access: yesThe Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College, 2007
In the soft palate, tongue, pharynx and larynx surrounding the oral region, taste buds are present, allowing the sensation of taste. On the tongue surface, 3 kinds of papillae are present: fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate. Approximately 5,000 taste buds cover the surface of the human tongue, with about 30% fungiform, 30% foliate and 40 ...
