The past decade has witnessed a consolidation and refinement of the extraordinary progress made in taste research. This Review describes recent advances in our understanding of taste receptors, taste buds, and the connections between taste buds and sensory afferent fibres. The article discusses new findings regarding the cellular mechanisms for detecting tastes, new data on the transmitters involved in taste processing and new studies that address longstanding arguments about taste coding.
在过去十年中,味觉研究取得了非凡进展,如今这些进展得到了巩固和完善。本综述描述了我们在味觉受体、味蕾以及味蕾与感觉传入纤维之间联系的理解方面的最新进展。本文讨论了味觉检测细胞机制的新发现、味觉处理过程中涉及的递质的新数据,以及解决味觉编码长期争论的新研究。
