Frog's tongue receptive areas: neural organization and gustatory function.
Lateral and medial branch of the frog's IXth nerve innervates rostral third and caudal two-thirds of the tongue surface, respectively. The amounts of gustatory signals in these branches differ in proportion to the area they supply.
