Summary

The latency of frog gustatory neural impulses to 1.0M NaCl was a mean of 86 msec. Electrical stimulation of taste cell membranes produced gustatory neural impulses with the mean 5 msec latency. It is concluded that most of the 86 msec latency of taste nerve responses to 1.0M NaCl is due to the latency of taste receptor potential following the onset of gustatory stimulation.
