Application of colchicine to the glossopharyngeal nerve produces the diminution of the area of foliate papillae taste buds and the cell number in them. At the same time the correlation of morphologically different cells of the taste bud changes, since the content of intermediate cells increases and that of dark cells descends. The data obtained do not confirm the hypothesis about the appurtenance of the morphologically different cells of the taste bud to the same cell type.
