Development of fungiform papillae, taste buds, and their innervation in the hamster

Fungiform taste buds in mature hamsters are less subject to neurotrophic influences than those of other species. This study evaluates taste‐bud neurotrophism during development in hamsters by examining the relation between growing nerves and differentiating fungiform papillae. Chorda tympani (CT) or lingual (trigeminal) nerve (LN) fibers were labelled with Lucifer Yellow as they grew into (CT fibers) or around (LN fibers) developing taste buds. Developing fungiform papillae and taste pores were counted with the aid of a topical tongue stain.
