dc.description.abstract | Transection of the gerbil's IXth nerve causes gustatory action potentials to decline in 1-6 h; the rate of decline is a linear function of the length of the nerve stump remaining attached to the tongue18. To test the implication that taste discharge mechanisms depend upon axonal transport in the IXth nerve, we injected 40 nl of [3H]leucine into the petrosal ganglion of one IXth nerve of the gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus. Subsequent liquid scintillation counting of the petrosal ganglion, IXth nerve segments, and representative areas of the tongue indicated that labeled materials were transported down the IXth nerve primarily to the vallate and ipsilateral foliate taste papillae of the tongue. A significant impairment of axonal transport and a substantial decline in summated IXth nerve taste responses occurred within 2-3 h a after colchicine was applied to the IXth nerve trunk between the tongue and the petrosal ganglion. Similarly, cooling the IXth nerve with a 3-10 [deg]C thermocouple junction or metal probe impaired axonal transport and caused a taste response decline. Since impulse mechanisms of the nerve trunk continued to function distal to these sites of treatment, we concluded that the maintenance of taste discharges at the level of the taste bud depends upon unimpeded axonal transport. | en_US |
