      • Taste receptors are responsible for people's perception of taste. Moreover, taste components in food interact with taste receptors to deliver signals to the body, resulting in taste responses to food, which in turn influence people's food choices.

  2. Dec 7, 2015 · At a Glance. By manipulating areas of the mouse brain that represent sweet and bitter taste, researchers were able to control the animals’ perception of these tastes. The results show that responses to sweet and bitter tastes are hardwired into the brain.

  3. May 2, 2024 · Taste receptors are responsible for people's perception of taste. Moreover, taste components in food interact with taste receptors to deliver signals to the body, resulting in taste responses to food, which in turn influence people's food choices.

  4. Jun 29, 2017 · The molecular recognition of tastants, which occurs at the apical tips of taste bud cells, ultimately results in sensory perceptions (for example, sweet, salty, and so on) that guide appetite...

  5. Abstract. Heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest receptor family in mammals and are responsible for the regulation of most physiological functions. Besides mediating the sensory modalities of olfaction and vision, GPCRs also transduce signals for three basic taste qualities of sweet, umami (savory taste), and ...

  6. The expression patterns of taste receptors in taste buds lend strong evidence for taste quality distinction at the level of taste cells. T2Rs, which detect bitter stimuli, are not found in cells that express T1Rs, which detect sweet or umami stimuli 12 .

  7. It is well known that taste perception influences food intake. After ingestion, gustatory receptors relay sensory signals to the brain, which segregates, evaluates, and distinguishes the stimuli, leading to the experience known as “flavor.” It is ...

  8. Jul 30, 2023 · Taste buds contain basal cells, which differentiate into taste receptor cells (TRCs) and perceive taste. TRCs have thin microvilli (gustatory hairs) which protrude out the top. The TRCs contain axons, which send taste signals to the brain.
