dc.description.abstractTo learn whether salt taste responses change during mammalian development, we recorded from multifiber preparations of the chorda tympani while stimulating the anterior tongue in sheep fetuses, lambs, and adults. Stimuli were 0.5 M NH4C1, KC1, NaCl, and LiCl, and 0.05–0.75 M concentration series of the first three salts. Ultrastructural studies were made of taste buds at different ages to determine whether morphological elements such as microvilli and tight junctions are present in young fetuses. Substantial changes occur in relative salt taste responses, throughout development. In fetuses that are beginning the last third of gestation, NaCl and LiCl elicit much smaller response magnitudes than NH4C1 and KC1. Throughout the rest of gestation and postnatally, the NaCl and LiCl responses gradually increase in magnitude relative to NH4C1 and KCL In adults, NaCl, LiCl, and NH4Cl all elicit similar response magnitudes and KC1 is less effective as a taste stimulus. At ages when response ratios for the 0.5 M salts are changing, there are no changes in shapes of the response/concentration functions for individual salts. Furthermore, microvilli are present on taste bud cell apices and tight junctions are found between cells in the youngest fetuses studied. Therefore, initial stimulus-receptor membrane contacts are probably similar to those in adults. Our data suggest that different membrane components interact with the various monochloride salts and that taste receptors contain different proportions of these various membrane components at different developmental stages. Therefore young taste bud cells do not have the same salt response characteristics as mature cells, and a changing neural substrate underlies development of salt taste function, both pre- and postnatally.en_US
