Abstract

Single water fibers of the frog glossopharyngeal nerve respond not only to water but also to salts such as those of Ca, Mg, and Na. The salt taste responses in the water fibers are strongly influenced by anions. In this study, we investigated the role of anions in salt taste reception in single water fibers of the frog glossopharyngeal nerve.
