Kinnamon S, Finger T
F1000Res . 2020 Mar; 8. PMID: 32185015
In the last few years, single-cell profiling of taste cells and ganglion cells has advanced our understanding of transduction, encoding, and transmission of information from taste buds as relayed to...

York R, Byrne A, Abdilleh K, Patil C, Streelman T, Finger T, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 Dec; 9(1):19994. PMID: 31882605
The evolutionary diversification of animal behavior is often associated with changes in the structure and function of nervous systems. Such evolutionary changes arise either through alterations of individual neural components...

Yang R, Dzowo Y, Wilson C, Russell R, Kidd G, Salcedo E, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2019 Oct; 528(5):756-771. PMID: 31587284
Taste buds comprise four types of taste cells: three mature, elongate types, Types I-III; and basally situated, immature postmitotic type, Type IV cells. We employed serial blockface scanning electron microscopy...

Larson E, Pathak S, Ramakrishnan V, Finger T
Chem Senses . 2019 Sep; 44(9):663-671. PMID: 31504289
Forkhead box protein J1 (FOXJ1), a member of the forkhead family transcription factors, is a transcriptional regulator of motile ciliogenesis. The nasal respiratory epithelium, but not olfactory epithelium, is lined...

Jette M, Clary M, Prager J, Finger T
Laryngoscope . 2019 Mar; 130(2):423-430. PMID: 30908677
Objectives/hypothesis: The larynx is a highly responsive organ exposed to mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli. Chemicals elicit responses both in intraepithelial nerve fibers and in specialized chemosensory cells, including scattered...

Romanov R, Lasher R, High B, Savidge L, Lawson A, Rogachevskaja O, et al.
Sci Signal . 2018 May; 11(529). PMID: 29739879
Conventional chemical synapses in the nervous system involve a presynaptic accumulation of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles, which fuse with the plasma membrane to release neurotransmitters that activate postsynaptic receptors. In taste buds,...

Wilson C, Finger T, Kinnamon S
Chem Senses . 2017 Oct; 42(9):759-767. PMID: 28968659
Activation of Type III cells in mammalian taste buds is implicated in the transduction of acids (sour) and salty stimuli. Several lines of evidence suggest that function of Type III...

Castillo-Azofeifa D, Losacco J, Salcedo E, Golden E, Finger T, Barlow L
Development . 2017 Jul; 144(17):3054-3065. PMID: 28743797
The integrity of taste buds is intimately dependent on an intact gustatory innervation, yet the molecular nature of this dependency is unknown. Here, we show that differentiation of new taste...

Finger T, Bartel D, Shultz N, Goodson N, Greer C
J Comp Neurol . 2017 Feb; 525(7):1743-1755. PMID: 28152579
The ionotropic serotonin receptor, 5-HT , is expressed by many developing neurons within the central nervous system. Since the olfactory epithelium continues to generate new olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) throughout...

Stratford J, Thompson J, Finger T
J Comp Neurol . 2016 Jun; 525(2):271-290. PMID: 27292295
Sensory inputs from the oropharynx terminate in both the trigeminal brainstem complex and the rostral part of the nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS). Taste information is conveyed via the...
