The study of vertebrate taste-cell physiology has advanced dramatically with the use of modern electrophysiological techniques. Recent studies show that taste cells have a wide variety of ion channels which transduce chemical stimuli and are critical to cellular function. Hormones and neurotransmitters modulate ion channel function and, in turn, may affect the performance of the gustatory system.
随着现代电生理技术的应用，脊椎动物味觉细胞生理学的研究取得了巨大进展。最近的研究表明，味觉细胞拥有多种离子通道，这些通道可传导化学刺激，对细胞功能至关重要。激素和神经递质调节离子通道功能，进而可能影响味觉系统的性能。
