The Pharmacology of Taste

The Pharmacology of Taste is comprised of contributions by leading scientists from the field of chemosensory research, presented all together in the context of pharmacological principles of receptor function. The chapters cover all levels of scientific inquiry, from molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying taste signaling to its manifestation in overt behavior. The overarching objective of this volume is to inspire the application of concepts and methods of pharmacology to the study of the chemosenses.

Treats theoretical & practical aspects of the study of the taste from within the conceptual framework of pharmacology Reviews recent research into receptors and physiology mediating taste signals & their relationship to ingestive behavior Enriches understanding of the chemical senses by emphasizing foundational principles of pharmacology
