Geniculate ganglion neurons (GGNs) receive inputs from taste receptor cells (TRCs) on the tongue, each of which selectively transduces one of five taste qualities: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and ...

The mouse tongue contains hundreds of taste buds. Each houses dozens of taste receptor cells (TRCs), which can detect five basic qualities of taste: bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umami 2. In most ...

Seventh cranial nerve (facial nerve) passes through a portion of temporal bone known as the facial canal. Inflammation of at the part of the nerve termed geniculate ganglion (a group of fibers and ...

Those nerve fibers are the ends of cells located in the geniculate ganglion, a ball of cells nestled up against the ear canal on the side of your head. From there, taste sensations head toward the ...

Heat shock protein 72 confers protection in retinal ganglion cells and lateral geniculate nucleus neurons via blockade of the SAPK/JNK pathway in a chronic ocular-hypertensive rat model.

Axons from retinal ganglion cells form the optic nerve, which carries signals from the eye to regions of the brain that process vision. Those regions include the lateral geniculate nucleus, which ...

I specialize in measuring the visual subcortex—the lateral geniculate nucleus, pulvinar and thalamic reticular nucleus in the thalamus, ... Multiple streams of information arise from distinct ganglion ...
