Fig. 8. Responses of single facial taste fibers. (A) A single fiber responding only
to the bile salt (BS) mixture (10–5 mol l–1
TCDC, TCA, GCDC and CDC); (B) a single fiber responding only to the amino acid
(AA) mixture (10–6 mol l–1 Ala, Arg and
Pro); (C) a single fiber responding to both stimulus mixtures. A and B were
recorded simultaneously from different fibers in the same preparation, whereas
unit no. 3 was recorded from a different animal. Clusters of individual spike
trains are shown in insets I and II to indicate that the action potentials
recorded in A–C were evoked by single fibers. Ct, CFTW. Horizontal bars
indicate 2 s stimulus applications.
