Taste buds in hamster fungiform papillae persist in an atrophic state for as long as 330 days after chorda tympani denervation or 50 days after combined chorda tympani-lingual nerve resection. Although taste bud structure depends on innervation, there is no absolute neural requirement for taste bud survival.
仓鼠菌状乳头中的味蕾在鼓索神经去神经支配后长达330天或鼓索神经-舌神经联合切除后50天内一直处于萎缩状态。尽管味蕾结构依赖于神经支配,但味蕾存活并没有绝对的神经需求。
