Gustatory trophic action of arterial chemosensory neurones in the cat.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The proximal stump of the carotid sinus nerve (c.s.n.) branch ofthe IXth cranial nerve was surgically cross-anastomosed to the distal stump of the lingual nerve (l.n.) branch of the same cranial nerve to test the ability of regenerating c.s.n. axons to reinnervate and induce taste buds on cat circumvallate papillae. The l.n. branch of the IXth nerve, which normally innervates ciicumvallate papillae, was directed away from the tongue by suturing it to the distal stump of the c.s.n. Animals with normal… Show more

“…However, when a sympathetic ganglion is substituted instead, no taste buds form. Recent studies have shown that the ability to maintain taste buds in situ or to induce regeneration after degeneration is not only restricted to gustatory nerves, although the gustatory nerves appear to be more efficacious (Dinger et al, 1984;Hdrd af Segerstad et al, 1989;Kinnman and Aldskogius, 1988). Substitution of the target tissue was made in other experiments.…”

“…This trophic influence appears to require axoplasmic transport (Sloan et al, 1983). Only taste budbearing epithelium and chemosensory nerves (including the vagus and, specifically, the carotid sinus nerve) are competent to support the formation and maintenance of taste buds (Guth, 1958;Zalewski, 1970Zalewski, , 1981Oakley, 1974;Mistretta and Bradley, 1977;Sanchez et al, 1978;Dinger et al, 1984). Thus, it is generally believed that factors specific to gustatory nerves are important in their trophic interaction with taste cells.…”
