title: Incremental conduction velocity of single afferent fibers innervating frog taste organ.
abstract: The mean diameter of myelinated afferent fibers from the taste disk located on the frog tongue was 5.5 micrometers within the fungiform papillae and increased at a rate of 0.8 micrometers/cm length of fibers. A gradual increase in conduction velocity of single afferent fibers from the taste disk was confirmed electrophysiologically.
