摘要
The sensation of taste is initiated when chemicals interact with peripheral receptors in the oral cavity, activating a cascade of cellular events that lead to changes in neurotransmitter release onto afferent nerve fibers. The mechanisms of taste transduction are diverse and involve a rich array of signaling components.
