Salt-induced electrical epithelial responses of the frog (Rana catesbeiana) tongue and their relation to gustatory nerve activity in vivo
Abstract
Stimulation of the frog tongue with various salts produced changes in epithelial potential of the tongue, accompanied by changes in gustatory nerve activity. Both changes varied similarly according to the stimulus. The results indicate that cation transport in the lingual epithelium is involved in gustation.
