Abstract:
Intracellular recordings were obtained using the current-clamp and voltage-clamp techniques. When the taste cell membrane was voltage-clamped, the sucrose stimulus induced an inward current accompanied by a membrane resistance increase while the NaCl stimulus induced an inward current accompanied by a membrane resistance decrease. These phenomena indicated that sucrose and NaCl have quite a different generation mechanism of taste responses.
