Response characteristics of lamb trigeminal neurons to stimulation of the oral cavity and epiglottis with different sensory modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
A region of the trigeminal complex located at the border of the subnucleus interpolaris and subnucleus caudalis receives not only trigeminal nerve inputs from the face, tongue and palate, but also afferent terminations ...
Responses of neurons in the lamb nucleus tractus solitarius to stimulation of the caudal oral cavity and epiglottis with different stimulus modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-02-20)
Receptors located in the posterior oral cavity and on the epiglottis play an important role in the initiation of upper airway reflexes such as swallowing, gagging, coughing and apnea. Peripheral nerves which innervate these ...
Electron microscopic demonstration of horseradish peroxidase-tetramethylbenzidine reaction product as a method for identifying sensory nerve fibers in the rat tooth pulp
(Elsevier, 1983-11-11)
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine if the horseradish peroxidase could be used as a method for labeling sensory nerve fibers (specifically, tooth pulp afferents) for detailed ultrastructural analyses. ...
Developmental changes in taste responses from glossopharyngeal nerve in sheep and comparisons with chorda tympani responses
(Elsevier, 1983-12)
To learn whether there are developmental changes in salt and acid taste responses from the posterior tongue, we recorded from the glossopharyngeal nerve, which innervates taste buds in circumvallate papillae, in sheep ...
Stabilization of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reaction product at the electron microscopic level by ammonium molybdate
(Elsevier, 1988-10)
The ability to use the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) method for studying neuronal connections at the electron microscopic level is often difficult because the conditions of osmification and dehydration used in processing the ...
Demonstration of sensory innervation of rat tongue with anterogradely transported horseradish peroxidase
(Elsevier, 1986-03-05)
Wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase injected into the petrosal ganglion in rats was transported to the posterior tongue in the glossopharyngeal nerve. Labelled fibers innervated the ipsilateral foliate papilla ...
Development of chorda tympani taste responses in rat
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1981-05-01)
To learn whether neurophysiological taste responses change during structural development of the gustatory system, we recorded from the chorda tympani nerve in rats aged 7 to 92 days after birth. Chemical stimuli applied ...
4-Aminopyridine reduces chorda tympani nerve taste responses to potassium and alkali salts in rat
(Elsevier, 1993-05-28)
To study the potential role of potassium channels in the taste response to potassium salts, we applied 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) to the anterior rat tongue and recorded chorda tympani nerve taste responses to chemical stimuli. ...
In vitro intracellular recordings from gustatory neurons in the rat solitary nucleus
(Elsevier, 1990-01-29)
The passive membrane properties of neurons in the gustatory zone of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of rats were studied using an in vitro brain slice preparation. Examination of responses evoked by a 0.5 nA, 100 ms ...
Organ cultures of embryonic rat tongue support tongue and gustatory papilla morphogenesis in vitro without intact sensory ganglia
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-01-20)
Taste buds on the mammalian tongue are confined to the epithelium of three types of gustatory papillae: the fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate. The gustatory papillae are composed of an epithelium that covers a broad ...
