abstract：:Cytoplasmic acidification in taste receptor cells is thought to be involved, at least in part, in acid taste transduction. Since in taste buds about 20% of the receptor cells are electrically coupled, we have tested whether reduction in intracellular pH affects these lateral synaptic interactions.
