An initial phasic depolarization exists in the receptor potential of taste cells.
When frog taste cells were stimulated by varying salts after adaptation to water, quinine or acetic acid, a phasic depolarization appeared initially in the receptor potential of taste cells. The initial transient depolarization may be related to the enhancement of an initial phasic response in the taste nerve.
