Fig. 7. Integrated multiunit taste recordings from three separate facial nerve
twigs (A–C) innervating the maxillary barbel in a single fish showing
the variability of the magnitude of the integrated responses to bile salts
with respect to amino acids. (A) Nerve twig lacking a bile-salt response but
showing a large-magnitude amino acid response. (B) Nerve twig with a
significant bile-salt response and an even-greater-magnitude amino acid
response. (C) Nerve twig responding approximately equally to the bile salt and
amino acid mixtures. C, CFTW control; BS, a mixture of 10–5
mol l–1 TCDC, TCA, GCDC and CDC; AA, a mixture of
10–6 mol l–1 L-alanine,
L-arginine and L-proline.
