  1. CT – chorda tympani, NG – glossopharyngeal nerve, MSG – monosodium glutamate, IMP – disodium 5'-inosinate, QHCl – quinine hydrochloride, PROP – 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil, TEA – tetraethyl ammonium chloride. Concentrations are in mM. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO besides acesulfame-K (gift of Hoechst), cyanosuosan (gift of C.Nofre), NC00174 and SC45647 (gift of Nutrasweet), MSG and IMP (gift of Adjinamoto). Figures in parentheses show number of animals tested for each concentration of a stimulus. In the first series it shows the number of recordings from the NG. In second and third series the first figure is the number of CT recordings and second figure is the number of NG recordings.
