Abstract: | The latency of frog gustatory neural impulses to 1.0 M NaCl was a mean of 86 msec. Electrical stimulation of taste cell membranes produced gustatory neural impulses with the mean 5 msec latency. It is concluded that most of the 86 msec latency of taste nerve responses to 1.0 N NaCl is due to the latency of taste receptor potential following the onset of gustatory stimulation. |
